Bring back failover on Primary/Active ASA

[johnlloyd_13]

hi all,

i've configured 2x ASA for active/standby and i think i've messed up the config.

was trying to 'force' the standby ASA with the 'no failover active' command on the active ASA.

i'm seeing the 'NoFailover' hostname prompt and 'Failover Off' when i issue the 'show failover' command.

can someone advise how to enable/activate again the failover feature on active ASA on the 'admin' context?

FW01/pri/actNoFailover# sh failover
Failover Off

Would you mind posting your failover configs?

Was your active/standby working before? Is your failover enabled?

Hi

It looks you like you have disabled failover by using the command "no failover", so to enable it just write the command "failover" again.

hi,

looks like i've mistakenly issued a 'no failover' instead of 'no failover active' when i was doing a failover test.

all good now :)

FW01/pri/act# show failover
