Now fwsm on the secondaty unit is working. If I activate failover on the primary unit, does it become active or not? If it becomes active, I think I will have some moments of disconnection, is it right?</P> Mon, 11 Mar 2019 14:05:23 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/failover-with-fwsm/m-p/1074241#M894279 gdspa 2019-03-11T14:05:23Z Re: failover with fwsm https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/failover-with-fwsm/m-p/1074242#M894295 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Yes, even if you activae failover the secondary may remain active, however if you want primary to take over from secondary, you have add this command..</P><P></P><P>failover preempt</P><P></P><P>There will be atleast 2 timeouts for switchover.</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 30 Oct 2008 10:56:04 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/failover-with-fwsm/m-p/1074242#M894295 csco11049253 2008-10-30T10:56:04Z Re: failover with fwsm https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/failover-with-fwsm/m-p/1074243#M894304 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Thank you for your answer, I will try this evening. Another question: I am trying to create a vlan on fwsm, but if I try to ping from fwsm to a pc in the vlan, request arrives on pc, replay starts from pc but doesn't arrive to the fwsm even if I permit icmp traffic in "ICMP rules" on the fwsm. Even if I ping from pc to an host in other vlans, no messages appear in the log (debug level). Could it be a problem caused by the situation of failover?</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 30 Oct 2008 11:58:34 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/failover-with-fwsm/m-p/1074243#M894304 gdspa 2008-10-30T11:58:34Z Re: failover with fwsm https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/failover-with-fwsm/m-p/1074244#M894308 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I inform that I solved the problem of the creation of a new vlan when I reactivated failover on the 2nd fwsm.</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 31 Oct 2008 14:52:55 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/failover-with-fwsm/m-p/1074244#M894308 gdspa 2008-10-31T14:52:55Z
