2 ASA 5520 Active-Standy Setup with DMZ sub-interfaces

Hi

I would like to find out if it is possible to configured 2 DMZ IP ranges with sub-interfaces on one physical DMZ interface while maintaining the active-standby setup.

I am preparing for a DMZ IP address migration and would like to create the new DMZ IP interface as a sub-interface on the existing DMZ Interface.

This would allow me to migrate the existing DMZ servers over to the new IP range one at a time instead of a "big bang" approach.

I could not find any reference for active-standby configuration using sub-interfaces.

Appreciate any help or suggestion.  I have list the current interface configuration of my 2 ASA5520 and the proposed configuration which I am not sure if it is feasible/valid

Yes, definitely can, and your proposed configuration is correct.

You just have to make sure that gig0/2 is changed from access port to trunk port, and allowing at least vlan 101 and 102.

Hope that helps.
