Hey everyone,
I'm setting up an ASA HA pair with active/standby mode.
I had entered the commands below, and the last step was to enable failover on the primay with the 'failover' command.
When I entered this, I lost connectivity to the Primary firewall, and needed to reboot to restore access.
My understanding is that entering 'failover' should only enable the failover service, which should then have proceeded to form a HA pair and copy the config from the Primary to Seondary firewall. Why did it (apparently) cause it to failover?
(Primary)
no failover <<-- Prior to issuing failover command
failover lan unit primary
failover lan interface failover Ethernet0/3
failover link failover Ethernet0/3
failover interface ip failover 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0 standby 192.168.0.2
(Secondary)
failover
failover lan unit secondary
failover lan interface failover Ethernet0/3
failover link failover Ethernet0/3
failover interface ip failover 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0 standby 192.168.0.2
