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:
This is the configuration and the sh fail

Since the secondary is active presently, once you reboot the primary it will come back up and detect an active mate and it will become standby.
What ever config that you have on the secondary/active will be sent over to the primary once it comes back up as standby.
Before reloading the failed primary, session into itb from the switch and see what is going on with it.
