Dear all

i have 2 ASAs 5520 , they have VPN plus license . i tried to configure them to support failover feature for the customer network. But when configuring the secondary unit with the faiover configuration and enable the faiover on it , it prompts me that it cannot take the configuarion from the primary device due to something in the license (webvpn peers).The following is "show version" output from the two devices :

Maybe because there is a mismatch in the WebVPN licenses of the two boxes. One has a 25 user license installed, whereas the other has the default free users (two).

Dear farrukh

Thanks for your reply , what i can do to solve this issue?

The ASA that has few webvpn peers needs another license or not???

thanks

I could only locate the following on the Cisco Website:

"Both units have the same hardware, software configuration, and *proper* license."

It would be best to approach your local SE or if you work for a Cisco Partner, the Partner Online pre-sales help Team.
