ASA stateful failover traffic

[vciric]

Is there any way to prioritize ASA's failover and stateful traffic in the campus network?

Why would you need to? You mean qos? Not sure why!

Yes for qos, to prioritize this traffic over long distance 10 GE link.

Is the 10Ge link saturated and causing drops on the links?  If not then there's no point as QOS only takes effect when there is queueing on the links.

If it is saturated then are you stretching too many vlans over the link, this will cause too much broadcast traffic over it?  You might want to look at changing to point to point layer 3 link instead.

Hi Simon,

The 10 GE link is not saturated at the moment. I would like to have qos configured for that link as the measure of precaution.

Best regards,

I would suggest configuring QOS on the layer 2 switch that the ASA failover link terminates on incoming and implement the QOS on the outbound interface across the 10Ge link.
