FWSM Lost Failover communications with mate

All,

I experinced critical problem for our customer service pertaing to communication fail for FT between FWSMs.

I can just find the log in FWSM as follows and can't find any physical log as interface down in C6500 at that moment.

Now our FWSM OS version is 3.2(7) and jsut monitor-interface option is applied at outside interface in FWSM.

Main FWSM

1|Feb 13 2010 01:49:19|105005: (Secondary) Lost Failover communications with mate on interface statelink
1|Feb 13 2010 01:49:20|105004: (Secondary) Monitoring on interface statelink normal

Backup FWSM


1|Feb 13 2010 01:49:17|105005: (Primary) Lost Failover communications with mate on interface statelink
1|Feb 13 2010 01:49:22|105004: (Primary) Monitoring on interface statelink normal
1|Feb 13 2010 01:51:24|105005: (Primary) Lost Failover communications with mate on interface outside
1|Feb 13 2010 01:51:24|105008: (Primary) Testing Interface outside
1|Feb 13 2010 01:51:24|105009: (Primary) Testing on interface outside Passed

Our problem is recovered automatically after 2m ~ 3m but that is reoccured after 1 day.

I already opend the TAC case (SR 613646199)  but I didn't get any correct cause for problem and they just recommend to change the FWSM through RMA. 

Any advice for our problem whould be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Sungmin Cho

Does the FWSM have a dedicated link between the 6500 switches or are you using the interconnect that all the other traffic uses as well ?

If you are using the same interconnect as other traffic it could be worth trying to setup a dedicated interconnect just for the FWSM.

Jon,

We already divided the links between C6500s for FT (Regular and Stateful Failover) and data.

Thanks,
