    Configure firewall redundancy on cisco 6509
    Dear all,
    Good morning/evening,

    I have catalyst switch 6509, with two firewall service modules(FWSM)
    Do I need to configure any command on the switch to make the second
    Firewall module to work as failover for the first firewall module.

    Thanks for your kind responses.

    Use the failover command to configure

    You'll know it's right when you do a show failover and you see primary and secondary interfaces as normal and active / standby. You can do active / active in multiple context mode.

    Curious as to why you're using 2 modules in 1 6509, especially for failover.


    Failover
    Failover lan unit primary/secondary
    Failover lan interface failover interface
    Failover key *****
    Failover interface ip failover <ip> <subnet> standby <ip>


    E.g.
    FWSM(config)# show failover
    Failover On
    Failover unit Primary
    Failover LAN Interface fover Vlan 150
    Unit Poll frequency 15 seconds
    Interface Poll frequency 15 seconds
    Interface Policy 50%
    Monitored Interfaces 249 of 250 maximum
    Last Failover at: 10:58:08 Apr 15 2004
    This host: Primary - Active
    Active time: 2232 (sec)
    Admin Interface inside (10.6.8.91): Normal
    Admin Interface outside (70.1.1.2): Normal
    Other host: Secondary - Standby
    Active time: 0 (sec)
    Admin Interface inside (10.6.8.100): Normal
    Admin Interface outside (70.1.1.3): Normal
