ASA5585-X failover links

[Oleksii Dolgopolsky]

Hi all!!!

I have a small question. Can I use 10gig interfaces on IPS SSP module of ASA5585-X as LAN Failover and State Failover ports?

Thanks!!!

It seems that is possible.

Check this information from the Q&A:

Q. Can traffic ports located on the IPS SSP be used as additional firewall interfaces?

A. Yes, all traffic ports on the IPS SSP are managed by the firewall SSP.

If they can be used to pass traffic then it should be allowed to use them as failover interfaces. Normally it is suggested to use the highest speed interfaces for failover.

I hope this helps.
