Hi,
Setup description:
- 2 x ASA5510 version 7.2(2) connected
with a crossover cable via failover interface.
- Lan based failover
- Stateful interface is the same as failover interface (Ethernet0/2).
Config of Primary:
interface Ethernet0/2
!
nameif failover
no shut
!
failover lan unit primary
failover link failover
failover lan interface failover Ethernet0/2
failover interface ip failover 10.1.0.1 255.255.255.0 standby 10.1.0.2
!
failover
config of secondary:
interface Ethernet0/2
nameif failover
no shutdown
failover lan unit secondary
failover link failover
failover lan interface failover Ethernet0/2
failover interface ip failover 10.1.0.1 255.255.255.0 standby 10.1.0.2
failover
The problem:
1- Starting Primary ASA
2- Starting Secondary ASA
3- Configuration replication is sucessful
4- "Show failover" say that that failover is up and running
5- Disconnecting the crossover between both Ethernet0/2 interface.
6- Both ASA detect the link failure
7- When reconnecting, the primary ASA try to replicate configuration but at this time the secondary crashes. On the console port, the secondary is showing hexadecimal display with strange ascii characters. It finish by rebooting...
Do you know what's going on?
Thanks,
