ASA failover......

Failover

The security appliance offers a failover function that provides a safeguard mechanism in the event of unit failure. When a unit fails, anther immediately takes its place. The failover configuration requires two identical security appliances connected to each other through a dedicated failover link and, optionally, a stateful failover link. The health of the active interfaces and units is monitored to determine if specific failover conditions are met. If those conditions are met, failover occurs.
