ASA preempt ?

[Gerard Gacusan]

I have ASA active/standby setup. Seems, when the active fail, it won't preempt to an active state when it becomes available again ... just like HSRP. Is it possible?

thanks,

gerard

Gerard, you need to implement preempt command.

I have no option on failover group ...not sure why? I'm using IPSEC plus license.

ASA-Firewall(config)# failover ?

configure mode commands/options:

interface

interface-policy

key

link

mac

polltime

timeout

exec mode commands/options:

active

exec

reload-standby

reset

use this link

this one for ACTIVE/ACTIVE failover

but u rae useing active/standby

so use this linke as a config refrence and only configure one group in the example group one

then u gonna be able to use the preempt command

I remember now and the reason I have no failover group option. I'm running a single mode.

I'm still trying to figure out with the config..attach is my current config. anybody has a quick config that can show to us with the preempt?

this attachment is in a Active/Standby and running in single mode.

thanks in advance ...
