Management interface for Failover

[parvezahmad90]

Hello,

Please let me know Can we configured manangemet interface for lan based and statefull failover in ASA 5540 (Running 9.1 version).

Current Configuration for the interface is below.

interface Management0/0

management-only

nameif management

security-level 100

no ip address

I will create two subinterface of management for lan and statefull failover.

Will connect direct to another interface of secondary ASA.

Please let me know this solution will work.

Regards,

Hi,

I dont think you need to configure any subinterfaces for this

You could remove the "management-only" and "nameif" and "security-level 100" configurations from the interface. Though I think the "failover" configurations might remove these on their own.

You could use

failover

failover lan unit primary

failover lan interface failover Management0/0

failover key

failover link failover Management0/0

failover interface ip failover x.x.x.x 255.255.255.252 standby y.y.y.y

failover

failover lan unit secondary

failover lan interface failover Management0/0

failover key

failover link failover Management0/0

failover interface ip failover x.x.x.x 255.255.255.252 standby y.y.y.y
