Maximum security context for ASA 5510 security plus?

[maitantruc]

I have 2 ASAs 5510 with security plus license and each supports 5 security context in maximum. Now they are configured to run in Active/active mode. now I think that this cluster supports 10 security context in maximum. It's right?

thanks in advance

Unfortunately, it's the opposite. When you run a pair in active/active, they use 2 contexts per chassis. This is because an active/active setup is actualy 2 seperate active/standby pairs, with 1 active on each chassis.

With 5 contexts per chassis, you can do 2 sets of active/active, and one active/standby pair max.

I personally would use them as 5 active/standby pairs, with one chassis active for 3 of them, and the other chassis active for 2.
