Hi, looking at several migration scenarios at a customer, is it possible to have a 5512-X as primary firewall, with a 5510 as secondary in an active standby cluster (running the same license type)?
Thanks!

Hi,
No, you cannot pair ASA firewall that are of different model
Hardware Requirements
The two units in a failover configuration must be the same model, have the same number and types of interfaces, the same SSMs installed (if any), and the same RAM installed.
If you are using units with different flash memory sizes in your failover configuration, make sure the unit with the smaller flash memory has enough space to accommodate the software image files and the configuration files. If it does not, configuration synchronization from the unit with the larger flash memory to the unit with the smaller flash memory will fail.

Hi
No. Both members of a cluster must be identical hardware wise.
