I am trying to understand why ASA firewall doesnt do loadbalancing or loadsharing in normal active-standby mode.
why does it need to be in context mode to be run as an active-active firewall.
Appreciate all your help!
It's important to understand that within each context one firewall is active and one firewall is standby. So if you had 2 contexts - C1 and C2
fw1 is active for C1 and standby for C2
fw2 is active for C2 and standby for C1
note fw1 & fw2 cannot both be active for the same context.
So in an active/standby mode with only one context you cannot do load-balancing because only one of the firewalls can be active per context.
