Hi.
I have a couple of FWSM Version 2.3 (4) in failover Active/standby, a few years ago when our service provider make an upgrade change the failover role and our Primary change to secondary, but something happend that we promoted the secondary as an active, today i notice that my Primary (standby) fail i can´t access for any way, i don´t see any choices just reset the FWSM, but:
- What happend when the primary finished to boot, it is going to take the control and be the Active
- I don´t know the difference between the configuration files, because i don´t know how long the FWSM is down
- What cai i do to keep the current configuration, without affect all the contexts
This is the configuration and the sh fail
!
