Chapter 1 Configuring Active/Standby Failover
Licensing Requirements for Active/Standby Failover
Optional Active/Standby Failover Settings
You can configure the following Active/Standby failover options when you initially configuring failover
or after failover has been configured:
•
HTTP replication with Stateful Failover—Allows connections to be included in the state
information replication.
•
Interface monitoring—Allows you to monitor up to 250 interfaces on a unit and control which
interfaces affect your failover.
•
Interface health monitoring—Enables the ASA to detect and respond to interface failures more
quickly.
•
Failover criteria setup—Allows you to specify a specific number of interfaces or a percentage of
monitored interfaces that must fail before failover occurs.
•
Virtual MAC address configuration—Ensures that the secondary unit uses the correct MAC
addresses when it is the active unit, even if it comes online before the primary unit.
