ASA Failover | failover group ?

Jon Eyes
Level 1
Level 1

We just purchased two asa firewall to be setup in an active/active configuration. But when im doing my initial configuration, the failover group command is somewhat missing

ASA1(config)# failover ?


configure mode commands/options:

  interface         Configure the IP address to be used for failover and/or

                    stateful update information

  interface-policy  Set the policy for failover due to interface failures

  ipsec             Configure the use of IPSec tunnel for failover

  key               Configure the failover shared secret or key

  lan               Specify the unit as primary or secondary or configure the

                    interface and vlan to be used for failover communication

  link              Configure the interface and vlan to be used as a link for

                    stateful update information

  mac               Specify the virtual mac address for a physical interface

  polltime          Configure failover poll interval

  replication       Enable HTTP (port 80) connection replication

  timeout           Specify the failover reconnect timeout value for

                    asymmetrically routed sessions

  <cr>

exec mode commands/options:

  active          Make this system to be the active unit of the failover pair

  exec            Execute command on the designated unit

  reload-standby  Force standby unit to reboot

  reset           Force a unit or failover group to an unfailed state

Have you already configured failover? Are you in the system context?

Thanks Collin.

Already figured it out. I was still in single mode

I'll continue the configuration and if I come across any issue, i'll post it here.

Wish me luck
