hi ,
I have a cisco asa 5510 with security plus license in Live enviroment .
I need to add a secondary firewall .
I was planning to do in active /standby mode for failover .
But i have a doubt , when i do "show version " on live asa output says Active /active failover , does this means that i can only configure failover in active/active mode not in active/standby (which i want to do )?
please advice
sh ver

If you have active/active license, you can configure active/standby as well, but if you only have active/standby then you cannot configure active/active failover.

Hello,
This is means it supports Active/Active Failover as well, So your Firewall now supports both Active/Standby and Active/Active Failover configuration.

Hi Amit,
active/active failover is done by creating contexts, you can check it by:
show failover
this output would show you if it is active/standby or active/active.
Read through this configuration docs as well, it would help:
Hope that helps,
Thanks,
Varun
