ASA Failover Configuration


For this configuration I'm going to use GNS3 with QEMU emulator to run a ASA in a virtual environment. 

First get the files downloaded 
GNS3 : https://www.gns3.com/
ASA Images : 
ASA842-Intrid and ASA842vmlinuz

I'm not going to describe how to set the ASA in GNS3

For failover configuration

Node 01 : 
(config)#failover lan unit primary
(config)#failover lan interface FOLINK Gi0/0
(config)#failover interface ip FOLINK 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0 standby 10.1.1.2 
(config)#failover

Node 02 : 
(config)#failover lan unit secondary
(config)#failover lan interface FOLINK Gi0/0
(config)#failover interface ip FOLINK 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0 standby 10.1.1.2 
(config)#failover



P.S : You may also configure link failover (state failover) with the command 

Node 01 & 02: 
(config)#failover link FOLINK Gi0/1      

Verification Commands,
#show failover
#show failover state
