Team

From ASA 5520 we tested the interface failover it not working even the interface are getting monitor .

primary is active.

Manually we shut the outside interface of the primary device configuration is getting reflecting in secondary as outside interface shut. Interface failover not happen.

ii All the interface are getting monitor when we gave command sh failover. even though when we shut outside interface failove not happening.

kindly tell us how to do the interface failover in ASA 8.4 version.

Do you have the interfaces as monitored interface, can you provide the output of "show run failover" and "shwo failover"

Thanks,
