FWSM failover problem - getting vlan configuration mismatch

astanislaus
Level 2
Level 2

One FWSM failed - H/W fault. A new FWSM was used to replace failed module. Since then we cannot get redundancy to work.

Could it be that one FWSM is at version 2.3(3) and the other one is at 2.3(2). But customer said that this difference was there even before and they did not have any problem before the H/W fault.

Hi

The times when i get a vlan configuration mismatch message is when there is a discrepancy between the vlans that have been allocated to the FWSM.

Could you confirm whether the "firewall multiple-vlan-interfaces" is present on CSW002 ?.

If it isn't and you have 2 or more vlans that have routed interfaces on the CSW002 switch it may well decide to not allocate one of the vlans leading to a vlan mismatch.

I believe only hitless upgrade is supported between minor versions but they both needs to running identical software, licenses and same VLAN configurations

Jon,

That was my firts reaction when I looked at the two CAT6500 configs and asked customer to have this command

firewall multiple-vlan-interfaces

in both switches.

This morning he did and the result was still the same as before. Problem is still there.

Vara,

What is hitless upgrade - any pointers / urls explaining this?
