Cisco ASA Active.

Hello!

Which command I can understand if two Cisco ASA are configured at Active/Active or Active/Standby?

Thanks in advance.

@diogopxo if you are using Active/Active you'd be running in multi-context mode, which would mean you had multiple different firewalls managed separately. Console on to the ASA and run "show context", if you are running in multi-context mode it will display all the configured contexts. Or just SSH to one of the firewalls and run "show context" and it will display that context. If you don't have any contexts then you aren't running Active/Active, then run "show failover" to confirm you are running Active/Standby.

Show failover in both fw 

Check status 

If you dont config multi context and you see both fw status active that issue called split brain 

If you config multi context and you see both fw status active FOR one group that also issue.
