Spanned EtherChannel With Backup Links
The maximum number of active ports in an etherchannel is limited to 8 from the switch side. If you have
an 8-ASA cluster, and you allocate 2 ports per unit to the EtherChannel, for a total of 16 ports total, then
8 of them have to be in standby mode. The ASA uses LACP to negotiate which links should be active or
standby. If you enable multi-switch EtherChannel using VSS or vPC, you can achieve inter-switch
redundancy. On the ASA, all physical ports are ordered first by the slot number then by the port number.
In the following figure, the lower ordered port is the “primary” port (for example, GigabitEthernet 0/0),
and the other one is the “secondary” port (for example, GigabitEthernet 0/1). You must guarantee
symmetry in the hardware connection: all primary links must terminate on one switch, and all secondary
links must terminate on another switch if VSS/vPC is used. The following diagram shows what happens
when the total number of links grows as more units join the cluster:
