• on the stateful failover active / standby

  Hello guys.

  I have two ASA, same model and material. ASA have configured stateful failover active / standby by someone a few years ago. It worked normally until recently and no one changed the configuration. Then the secondary unit can't. Ping between 2 interfaces is ok. Please help me solve this problem.

• Fast-Start Failover & Active Data Guard

  Hi experts,
  
  I set up a 2-nodes with fast failover-Dataguard!
  
  While tesing the system I have seen that the backup database is to read only State (no editing).
  
  It means I have a watch guard of active data!
  
  Active data guard standby is a necessary condition to run the accelerated shift (the license is required?)
  
  Thanks and greetings
  
  hqt200475

  To be more precise: READING ONLY one OPEN does not mean that you use queries in real-time, who need the option Active Data Guard. Only if you redo apply while being read-only that is open has Active Data Guard. You can determine by the column OPEN_MODE from v$ database with11.2.

• PIX failover: failover cable disconnected and active the unit off

  Hi all

  We have 2 PIX 515E 6.3 (3) in the failover configuration (not stateful failover). Basically, the failover works very well. Recently, we did some testing of failover and had the following situation:

  When we force the active PIX failover cable is disconnected, the rest-aid box inactive and has not changed in the active state.

  It is the 'normal' behavior or is there something wrong?

  Thank you for your response.

  Daniel Ruch

  Daniel,

  As mentioned previously, the behavior you report is expected. If the failover cable is removed from a pair of PIX failover during the race, each PIX will maintain it's State as active it or standby PIX. Remove the failover cable in effect, disables the failover of both units to avoid having two devices moving to an active state.

  Does make sense? I'm still confused what about * why * you test this though. Is this something you think that will happen in your environment?

• ASA in transparent mode with LAN base active failover / standby?

  Is it possible to have a pair of the SAA in transparent mode with LAN-based failover active / standby? I configured the portion of failover and then configured the transparent mode and it erased my failover configuration. Is this supported configuration, and if so are there at - it an example?

  Thanks in advance

  Yes. It is possible to have a pair of ASA in transparent mode with LAN-based failover active/Standy. You must perform the configuration of failover after conversion of the appliance in transparent mode.

  I saw an example on the cisco site, but I'll give you an example of one of the projects I run. Infact its very easy to configure failover in transparent mode. Less work.

  I have listed the configs on both the firewall for your reference

• VPN works in Active Active Firewall failover mode?

  I want to clarify these two things!
  1. what VPN works in active/active mode failover mode?

  2. what failover active/Pasive mode?

  Kind regards!

  Hello

  With the help of an active/active failover means that firewalls will be in Multiple context mode. In other words the virtual firewall.

  This means that you can ONLY use the L2L IPsec VPN connections on the virtual firewall if you run level software on the firewall 9.x. Any form of Client and clientless VPN is not supported in multiple context Mode right now.

  Now with active / standby, it must make a distinction (if that is the word).

  IF you run a pair of active failover / normal standby time of ASAs IS NOT in Multiple context mode, YOU CAN use any type of VPN support ASAs.

  IF you run a pair of ASAs in several Mode of context and active / standby, you will naturally meet the limitation of VPN in Multiple Mode of context support and do WILL NOT be able to use any other VPN other than IPsec VPN L2L connections as long as you run the 9.x software that supports.

  Hope this helps

• Deleting a failover of PIX

  We have two PIX 515 currently configured in a failover. We must remove the additional pix for a few days, is there something special we have to do, or should we just unplug it and let it do its normal failover. And since we're on the subject, which would need to be done when we put the pix in. Thanks in advance.

  If you delete the previous day, just turn it off and remove it, the active PIX remains active.

  If you remove the active PIX, do a "active failover" on the day before to make it active and then turn it off.

  Remember however that if your secondary PIX is a failover only license, then it restarts every 24 hours or so if it detects that the primary is not connected. When it happens you will have to do an another "active failover" manually in this topic, that it will not automatically become the active unit. Make sure you leave the failover cable connected to this unit, otherwise it starts up at all.

• PIX 515E failover

  I have a pair of PIX 515E (6.3) running in failover mode. They are currently connected to a single chassis base. We are upgrading our network with the heart, dual 6500's. Is there a way to connect each PIX to a separate kernel (1 PIX - Core1, PIX 2 - Core2) to allow a failure of the base?

  Core 1 and Core 2 will have a L2 link between them. If the current active PIX is connected to Core1 and Core 1 dies, this would not lead to support PIX failover. All LAN traffic would go through Core 2, but since he does not have an active path to the active PIX 1, traffic would drop. My reasoning is correct?

  Is there a way to connect the PIX to two cores running V6.3?

  Hello

  If you use the cable-based failover, you can change the basis of LAN failover.

  Read http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/pix/pix63/configuration/guide/failover.html#wp1024836

  I hope this helps.

• PIX 515E failover restart problems

  Thursday, November 23, we went from the PIX cluster to version 7.1 (2) 6.2 (2) with the default memory (64 MB) in each PIX. The Active PIX then suffered what appeared to be leaking memory (attributed to process ARP Thread). This continued for a few days? with the result that we force reloaded the Active PIX every 8 hours to ensure the continuity of the service. Monday 27 after a reload? It has been noticed that the Active PIX leaked is more memory per process threads ARP? the same day, we went from the cluster PIX to 128 MB of memory. Then, we have had failovers active / standby every 2 hours? that seems to be attributed to missed? Hello? in the e-mail of failover? We decided then to configure LAN failover on the PIX cluster. In the process of activation of this secondary feature PIX (which was the current asset) crashed

  You have any explanation as to why these events took place.

  Hi Carlton,

  I can tell you that maybe the method you used to upgrade starts the chain of problems. I used for the migration of these products and I've never met before. In general I WINS configurations, program a service stop and I leave the unit of failover working alone while I do the upgrade of the unit the ex-active. After the upgrade, I had loaded the software configuration I saved before and made the customizations.

  For the PIX without restrictions, is real memory of 128 MB required. For the restricted permission, you can use the default of 64 MB.

  After that, you can place the active unit instead of the recovery. You improve the unit of failover so and connect again in active, already in production and restart the synchronization.

  For all my clients, it worked.

  It will be useful. If Yes, please rate.

  Kind regards

• PIX failover

  We have a PIX 515e failover bundle. In the documentation, I read that the PIX failover will restart even 12 hours min. This also occur in a failover design 'ordinary '?

  If the status of the lan failover interface connection is in place:

  * The only FO PIX will start and becomes automatically active if it fails to detect the primary UR PIX.

  * The device recharges itself all 24 hours, becomes automatically active whenever.

  If the lan failover interface link status is down:

  * The only FO PIX will start and are online but not become active.

  Active failover ordering must be run manually to the active unit.

  * The device recharges itself all 24 hours, requiring another manual failover active to make it active each time.

  This is precisely why we suggest to to connect with PIX failover through a switch instead of a crossover cable.

• PIX 6.2 (primary failover)

  I recently joined a company where the PIX firewall is installed. but the active link on the failover is red, I want to make the active primary pix. How can I do?

  There seems to be some confusion with primary, secondary, active and standby. In your scenario, it's whatever pix is 'active' who will always have the adresse.190, whether primary or secondary, and similarly, the pix "pending" will always be the adresse.180. It is the 'active' pix, you need to set up, not the "standby", as the rescue unit will not replicate the changes to the active unit, and this is the error you see. You must telnet to the 190 address in order to set up the pair.

  Hope that helps

• ASA 5520 Active standby and ssl vpn loadbalancing

  N ° when a couple active / standby is part of a cluster of VPN, the rescue unit is still pending - she will not be actively terminate user sessions. Only the active cluster members (and non-failover) will do.

  Hi André,.

  As far as I know, it shouldn't affect the existing license, since it is precisely for 3DES / AES.
