Hello Experts,

 

Could you please tell the advantage of using Spanned Etherchannel over Device local etherchannel?

 

What are the benefits of one over the other?

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

In order to achieve true scalability in addition to high availability, then spanned ether channels across multiple FTD's/ASAs should be used instead of device local or individual ether channel.  it creates true active/active scenario where both or multiple firewalls will participate in traffic forwarding and at the same time providing high availability.

 

reference: https://www.ciscolive.com/c/dam/r/ciscolive/emea/docs/2016/pdf/BRKSEC-3032.pdf

 

 

Is there any additional documentation around clustering the FTD's?  Not the ASA?
