trying to access standyby asa when using eigrp

[carl_townshend]

Hi all

Im having an issue where I am trying to telnet to my standby asa, to get it to work before I had to redistribute a static route back to my main network this then allowed me to telnet to both standby and active asa's. however the static route was causing a routing loop. I have now removed the static route and its now fixed the loop. I can telnet to the standby asa from the local next hop but not from any other remote network which means its not picking up the routes, Is this cause its in standby and not learning any?? is there a way to fix this?

cheers

Carl

Standby ASA will only see the static routes not the dynamic routes.

If you have a management station on another network from which you need to manage the standby firewall you would have to add a static route.

What you see is expected behavior.
