Active/Active Failover Configuration

Now look at how to configure active/active failover on a pair of ASAs using the ASDM.

With active/standby failover, one ASA is active, and the other ASA is redundant, waiting to take over the role of the active ASA if a failure occurs. With active/active failover, the ASA firewalls must be configured in multiple context mode so that both devices can pass traffic while at the same time serving as a backup for the other peer ASA.
