I have configured redundant interface on ASA 5510
interface Redundant1
description *** INSIDES NETWORK ***
member-interface Ethernet0/1 (This is a 1000Mbps Port)
member-interface Ethernet0/2 (This one is 100Mbps)
no nameif
no security-level
no ip address
interface Redundant1.10
vlan 10
nameif inside
security-level 100
ip address 192.168.1.168 255.255.255.0
redundant-interface redundant 1 active-member ethernet 0/1
Interface Ethernet0/1 ---- Connected to --- Primary Core Switch Interface Gi0/30
Interface Ethernet0/1 ---- Connected to --- Secondary Core Switch Interface Gi0/30
Then... i issue following command and its OK!
ASA5510# show interface redundant 1 detail
Interface Redundant1 "", is up, line protocol is up

Then i have shutdown Primary core switch Gi0/30 Interface and Issued above command again

It's tranferd corectly then i no shut and back to normal Primary core switch Gi0/30 Interface again, BUT redundant interface no revert back.
I issued this command again BW remain 100Mbps

I did manualy shut down and no shut the secondary core switch interface Gi0/30 Its changed correctly to 1000Mbps .
pls tell some one why it's not automatically transer active interface and speed ???
Solved! Go to Solution.

I remember that being there by design. Fail back or Preempt was not supported in case of Redundant interfaces and is actually not a good idea in terms of stability. You dont want the interface failover to happen again when the active interface comes back up. In order to force the 1000Mbps interface to be active, you can manually do so by the command 'redundant-interface 1 active
Hope that Helps
