When i am trying to configure failvoer i am getting following error stating secondary state as failed. Please let me know where i went wrong

have you configured the interface statements on our secondary box and are all the interfaces patched correctly?

can you post the interface and failover configurations from both boxes

a show interface might also help

Thanks mulhollandm for your reply.. as sought, below is show interface output.

Hi Bro

Can you kindly paste your Cisco ASA FW latest show run failover command here? Besides that, please do provide the output for debug fover rx and debug fover tx as well. This problem is easy. It's either you’ve the wrong configuration or your physical setup is wrong. Before I move into the physical setup, let’s do this configuration verification for now. No worries, I'll help you :-)
