Hi Guys,I have 2 ASA5520 i want to connect active/active LAN failover with 4 interfaces. problem is that i have used the 4 available ports but i dont have a port for connecting the crossover to the failover ASA. Can i use the management port to connect the failover lan cable??
I'm by no means an expert, but I don't know why you can't. We're currently using the management port for our "outside" interface, because our Internet pipe < 100 Mbps. We use the gig ports for internal/DMZ. Anyway, it should work.
Sure you can. The management port can be treated as a regular ethernet port (until it is configured with management-only - which is default). LAN failover requires a dedicated port, so feel free to specify Man0/0 as interface in 'failover lan' and/or 'failover link' commands.
