FWSM with Multiple redendent Context

[aminhassanali]

Hi,

I have two Cat6509 with FWSM module configured as fialover. I want to configure multiple routed context in FWSM. The design is as follows:

For VLAN 2,4,6 FWSM1-Context1 is primary and FWSM2-Context1 is failover

For VLAN 3,5,7 FWSM1-Context2 is Secondary and FWSM1-Context2 is Primary.

Now my question is,

Is it possible to configure one FWSM with multiple Routed Contextes acting one as primary for even number vlans and second as secondary (failover) for odd number vlans keeping in mind that the other FWSM with multiple routed contexts configured as secondary(failover) for even number vlans and second as primary for odd number vlans?

I would appreciate if any can reply.

Regards

Amin

You need to explicitly define for which you what a switch to act as primary.

The standby FWSM will get the wole config from the primary failover device.

The only thing to configure on the standby unit is:

mode multiple

no firewall transparent

failover lan interface faillink vlan 41

failover lan unit secondary

failover interface ip faillink 192.168.1.5 255.255.255.252 standby 192.168.1.6

failover

Everything else will be copied to RAM from the primary unit, VLANs and contexts will be identical.

Of course FWSM major version and activaton key license must be identical on both units.

sincerely
