Hi Guys,
I have run into a scenario where there they use a switch stack of four 3750’s and two ASA 5540 in Active-stanby HA Pair.
ASA's are connected with 4 interfaces across stack (1 interface to each switch).
1 Etherchannels (4 ports) is configured between ASA and switch. All vlans are terminated on ASA as a subiterfaces.
somehting like:
Port-channell1
no ip address
Port-channell1.10
vlan 10
ip address 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0 stanby 192.168.10.2
Port-channell1.20
vlan 10
ip address 192.168.20.1 255.255.255.0 stanby 192.168.20.2
..and so on..
There is about different 60-70 vlans currently terminated on ASA.
We found a problem with failover testing:
When we test the failover and fail manually with “failover active” command,
It looks like only 29 vlans can fail to backup ASA instantly , the rest can take up to 5 min.
Is there a limitation for ASA or 3750 etherchannel in this scenario why it would not failover instantly for all vlans ?
Thanks
Martin
