For clustering or failover, perform this step on the control node/active unit; the module state is replicated to the other nodes. Do not save the configuration; when you reload, the module will be enabled using the saved configuration. Example: ciscoasa(config)# netmod...
SSH; however, if you reload the ASA before you configure your management interface to comply with clustering requirements (for example, adding a cluster IP pool or getting the IP address from DHCP), you will not be able to reconnect because cluster-incompatible interface conf...
interface configuration mode. The following diagram explains on a high-level the ip-address that are assigned to the primary and secondary cisco ASA devices in this example. In the above diagram: ext0 – Assign your external ip-address to this interface. ext0 indicates that this is connected ...
Combined Licenses in Failover and Clustering Prior to Cisco ASA Software version 8.3(1), both units in a failover pair required identical licensed feature sets. Given that most designs used the Active/Standby failover configuration, this led to underutilization of licensed capacities. After the cha...
Some characteristics of the hardware platform or expansion modules can enable certain feature licenses implicitly. You can also activate additional licenses permanently or for a certain duration of time. When multiple Cisco ASA devices participate in failover or clustering, some licensed capacities automat...

For example, when a switch port on VLAN1 is communicating with a switch port on VLAN2, the adaptive security appliance applies configured security policies to the traffic and routes or bridges the traffic between the two VLANs. Usually Port Ethernet0/0 connects to the outside untrusted interfac...
Example: ciscoasa(cfg-nve)# peer ip 10.1.1.2 If you specify the peer IP address, you cannot use multicast group discovery. Multicast is not supported in multiple context mode, so manual configuration is the only option. You can only specify one peer for the VTEP. Step ...
Configuration Replication All units in the cluster share a single configuration. You can only make configuration changes on the control unit, and changes are automatically synced to all other units in the cluster. ASA Cluster Management One of the benefits of using ASA clustering is the ease ...
On each device, you configure a minimal bootstrap configuration including the cluster name, cluster control link interface, and other cluster settings. The first unit on which you enable clustering typically becomes the master unit. When you enable clustering on subsequent units, they join t...
