ASA failover primary / secondary active/standby

[Beaurr]

Hello,

My primary asa has become standby and the secondary has become active.
How to get the primary back to active and vice versa?

The command “show failover” will provide you with all the necessary information which one active

To manually failover the devices you can use the command “no failover active” on the active firewall or from the standby you can use ” failover active”
