failover link

[suthomas1]

Hello,

On an ASA 5520 active, standby pair, what will result if the failover link or interface goes down or fails. Will both devices become active?

If yes, how to prevent this. We want it in such a way that if such a situation happens, there should be only Active and the other one should be standby.

Thanks in advance!

If ASA units connected with cross over then no failover will take place.

if using LAN based failover then you will end up with Active-Active and traffic will fail.

Thanks

if using a lan based vlan failover ( over a layer 2 switch ) , is there a way to prevent active-active failover.

thanks.
