Frnds,
Just a quick Question
Cisco site states that "The ASA 5510 and higher adaptive security appliance includes a dedicated management interface called Management 0/0, which is meant to support traffic to the security appliance. However, you can configure any interface to be a management-only interface using the management-only command. Also, for Management 0/0, you can disable management-only mode so the interface can pass through traffic just like any other interface"
So if I disable the management-only mode using the following commands.
hostname(config)# interface management0/0
hostname(config-if)# no management-only
Will I be able to use the Management Interface for Failover purposes ?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Yes. It works the exact same as if you used a normal interface. Here's a sample of one I did..
interface Management0/0
description LAN/STATE Failover Interface
failover
failover lan unit primary
failover lan interface fail Management0/0
failover polltime unit 5 holdtime 15
failover key *****
failover link fail Management0/0
failover interface ip fail 10.255.255.1 255.255.255.252 standby 10.255.255.2
Pls rate if this helps.
Cheers.

Just a side note. Cisco does not support this. If you have a high rate of xlates and connections it will fall behind while trying to Synchronize on a 100mb link causing other problems.
Just an FYI..
BTW we use the management port for failover :)
