CLUSTERING ASA 5545X WITH 6807XL

[Kevin100]

Hai

I need to know whether clustering of two ASA 5545x- firepower  with cisco 6807xl(enterprise Lic) in VSS

is possible.There is no DMZ  and firewalls need to be in transparent mode.

I need to connect a switch to outside interface and put few servers.

How many firewalls can be added later to the cluster.

IS ASA  5545Xwith FP support clustering ?

thank you

The ASA 5545 does, and you would use Etherchannel.

But the ASA 5545 with Firepower module - I don't know.  I would think not.

Can you not use a simple Active/Standby failover for the ASA?  If so, then that would definitely work.

Hai Mr Philip

Thanks for reply,i am concerned about bandwidth ,4to 5 servers will be connected to outside interface using a switch,if clustering i can get atleast 8 gbps and manage like one 

any issues using active active in this case.core in vss through firewalls then to 2960x.

I want to know through vss it will support Etherchannel and it will be stable.

thank you.

I don't understand how the 2960x fit into the picture, but using VSS is fine.  You just use a multi-chassis Etherchannel to the ASA's.
