5512x Failover

[mikedelafield]

Hi guys.

I've recently purchased 2 x 5512x firewalls and I now see the failover license is not included by default.

I know there are many Cisco docs out there, but I just want to be absolutely sure before purchasing that this is the correct license?

L-ASA5512-SEC-PL=

Also I believe only 1 needs to be purchased as the license reverts to whichever is the active device (in active/passive), but again I'm not absolutely clear on this after reviewing the docs.

Could someone please confirm?

Has anyone recently completed this?

Thanks.

Mike

It's the right license, but you need two of them, one for each ASA. Without the license on both devices, failover can't form a connection. After building HA, licenses on both devices are merged.
