Manage ASA multicontext with PRSM

[chememar547066]

Hello,

i need to manage an active/standby ASA CX configuration with PRSM Multidevice mode. Is it possible?

I read on documentation:

If the ASA is in multiple-context mode, you can still manage a CX module

But it seam to be possible only with single mode PRSM.

Anyone can confirm it?

I have managed Active/Standby ASA pairs in both single context and multiple context mode with PRSM multi-device mode.

I've only used PRSM to manage the CX modules - not the base ASAs.

Whit which IP address do you import the active/stanby ASA on PRSM multi-device? I tried using the CX management IP but the server doesn't import them even if the ping success.

With ASA management IP address a failure message appear.

The base ASA is managed using an inside interface. In my case it is a subinterface that's on the same subnet as PRSM - so there's no question of routing back from the ASA since it a connected subnet.

So I have the ASA subinterface I'm using for management on the same VLAN as the physical interface that's connected to the CX (hardware module in this case since it's a 5585-X). The PRSM VM is also on that subnet.

You could do it other ways as long as all the routing works out.
