I test powering down one unit, and then the other en works perfect. But, as soon as I do "write stanby" in the active unit, the passive unit goes down (the insde interface). I remember that one time the ASDM aske something about a "peer" while trying to configure the failover. What is that? why goes down? Thanks in advanced.</P> Mon, 11 Mar 2019 11:02:58 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/write-standby-problem/m-p/749848#M970536 edimonted 2019-03-11T11:02:58Z Re: write standby problem https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/write-standby-problem/m-p/749849#M970537 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>is your inside interface also the failover interface?</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 28 Aug 2007 10:36:01 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/write-standby-problem/m-p/749849#M970537 srue 2007-08-28T10:36:01Z Re: write standby problem https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/write-standby-problem/m-p/749850#M970538 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>No, I have a dedicated interface.</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 28 Aug 2007 10:37:38 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/write-standby-problem/m-p/749850#M970538 edimonted 2007-08-28T10:37:38Z Re: write standby problem https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/write-standby-problem/m-p/749851#M970539 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P></P><P>What are you doing?

Upgrading to the latest interim release fixed the problem but then caused a worse problem, so waited until Cisco released a more stable version. It appears version 7.2 has a few bugs referring to failover/standby. You could always try upgrading to version 7.3.</P><P>Nevertheless, there is no need to issue the "write standby" command because configs are sync'd whenever the "write mem" command is submitted.</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 28 Aug 2007 21:59:23 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/write-standby-problem/m-p/749853#M970541 russ 2007-08-28T21:59:23Z Re: write standby problem https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/write-standby-problem/m-p/749854#M970542 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>My PIX has 6 interfaces, 5 for traffic and 1 for failover.
