failover : Enables Failover.
failover lan unit primary : Makes the unit that this command is entered as the primary FW
failover lan interface failover Management0/0: Specify which interface will be used for exchanging FW Hellos and other messges.
failover polltime unit 3 holdtime 9 : This command changes the frequency at which Failover hellos are sent to the other FW
failover replication http : Enter this if you want http sessions to be replicated to the standby FW. if this is entered, user will not have to refresh his browser.
failover link failover Management0/0 : Specify the interface for exchanging state information.
failover interface ip failover 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.240 standby 192.168.0.2 : Specify the Failover IP addresses.

Hello,
Get used to referencing these links bellow , look at command line syntax for each command . Read the " Usage Guidelines " that explains each command usage.
Command reference failover
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa82/command/reference/ef.html
This is how failover works, read this link - Active/Standby failover overview
