ASA5550 automatically rebooted

vivekanand.vishwakarma — Tue, 26 Mar 2019 00:44:00 GMT

Hi,

In our setup we have configured LAN base failover in ASA5550 firewalls in Active/Standby mode.Yesterday automatic failover happened and secondary become active and primary in standby mode.

When we checked the primary firewall we found that it was rebooted.

We have not configured the syslog server so we have left no log with us.Even in show tech support we are not finding any log message and crash file info is also not there.

Can we find out the root cause of firewall reboot without syslog or console log message?

Failover messages:

If we see the “show failover history” output on secondary ASA5550 firewall

we get the following log:

==========================================================================

If we see the “show failover history” output on Primary ASA5550 firewall at 00:23:07

IST Dec 23 2009 there is no log available.

On Primary failover log is available on 00:25:25 IST Dec 23 2009 (After Secondary became Active).

Hello Vivekanand,

Are the ASAs directly connected for the LAN failover or connected to a switch port?

Also what is the software version?

Vivekanand,

Pls. see if the unit shows any output for "sh crash". If so, pls. open a TAC case and provide them the crash info. along with a sh tech and we will be able to decode the crash and let you know if you are running into an already known issue and suggest a code upgrade accordingly.

If this is a new crash then, we would file a defect to address this.
