I am trying to setup a pair of ASA5510's in an active/passive failover. When I issue the failover command from the secondary 5510 I see these messages
Detected an Active mate
Beginning configuration replication from mate.
Warning: no actions specified. All actions disabled.
Warning: no actions specified. All actions disabled.
End configuration replication from mate.
When I use "show failover | include host" I see this
This host: Secondary - Failed
Other host: Primary - Active
The secondary node seems to have all the configuration from the primary. At the time the primary had a few VPN connections active. Those too seemed to be reflected on the secondary. I think the status of the secondary node needs to be "Standby Ready". Can anyone tell me where I went wrong or how to troubleshoot this?
e0/0 is the outside interface
e0/1 is the inside interface
e0/2 and e0/3 are the common ports
Below are the commands I used to setup failover on the two nodes. Outside IP addresses are fictional.
