Hello,
We are configuring a pair of ASA 2110's and we configured Active/Standby failover on them. At one point the active indicator on the standby firewall was amber, which after reading the documentation, was correct. Long story short, we made some config changes, didn't like those changes, then reverted the config back to before we made the changes. Now all of a sudden, the active firewall has the light indictor solid green and the standby failover firewall has the active light indictor off. We tested failover by shutting the active firewall off and the standby firewall became active. When i do a sh failover it says the one host is standby ready. I'm curious why the standby firewall active indictor is not turning amber anymore. Is this normal behavior or a bug?
Any advice would be appreciated
Thanks

Hey Sheraz,
I left the firewalls on over the weekend and came in this morning and the active light on the standby was amber. It just must have taken awhile for it to realize it was the standby firewall. The failover was working, i would shutdown the active and the failover would turn to active.
Thanks for your response.
