Hello,
We have two ASA firewalls located in different locations.
Firewalls are in Active/Standby modes.
Failover links of firewalls are connected to two different switches.
These switches are connected to each other with two dark fibers aggregated to Etherchannel (source-mac address mode)
When one of fiber links fails and then immediately is connected again, secondary ASA is going to Active state and then to Standy state again.
Please see the output bellow.
The holddown timer is set to 15 seconds.
What could be the cause of this state change?
