active/active with same outside ip

[cfajardo1_2]

hello,

am i right in saying that;

1. active/active in asa's means 2 asas running 2 contexts, with 1 being active in one context and the other will be active in the other context.

2. in a 2 asa5520 running actice/active, is it possible that the outside inbterfaces will have same ip addresses?

this is because i have 2 asa but we only have one perimeter router.

thanks for any help.

Hi,

Yes it can be achieved. Outside interfaces can have same ip in both the devices.

[cfajardo1_2]

so if this same ip address (2 contexts) is connected to a single router, then arent we are violating something?

if you have 2 contexts and they share the same interface then they have to have different ip addresses.
