[aoun.ameur1]

Hi,

Please, can you advice me before proceed in asa failover configuration ?

What should I do at the first, at the second and at the third ?

1-adding the 2 devices in Firesight Management Center

2-Redirect Traffic from the Two ASAs to Firesight Management Center

3-Configure Failover Active/Standby mode

Best Regards

Hi,

As per my understanding you should install the FirePOWER module on ASA and then bring the devices in failover.

The Failover process monitors the health of installed module to decide the failover state (Active, Standby or failed). So you can ensure that the module state is UP before enabling failover. commad: show module

You can add decive to FireSIGHT before/after enabling failover on ASA and same applies to resirection of traffic to FirePOWER module

Hope it helps!!!

Thanks,

R.Seth

I would use the following order:

1. Configure Failover Active/Standby mode
2. adding the 2 devices in Firesight Management Center
3. Redirect Traffic from ASAs to Firesight Management Center FirePOWER module
