Cisco ASA 5510 active/standby help needed

Posted by alexeg, 09-13-2008, 05:09 AM

Hello, Tomorrow I must setup two Cisco ASA 5510 in a active/standby configuration on a customer site. I have never used Cisco ASA firewall and have no clue how to manage this, I have been only able to manage them thru the ASDM software, but I can ensure they have the licence for active/standby. I've got to configure the firewall in routing mode with the following networks : LAN on if 0/0 with network 172.16.1.0/23 (172.16.1.0-172.16.1.10 is reserved for firewall equipments) DMZ on if 0/1 with network 10.10.1.1/23 (10.10.1.0-10.10.1.10 is reserved for firewall equipments) WAN / INET on if 0/2 with network 81.95.2.0/24 (81.95.2.0-81.95.2.10 is reserved for firewall equipments) My question are the following : - How to activate SSH access to my Cisco ? - Should I configure only one and there is a way to replicate on the standby ? - If yes to previous, how can I push the configuration to the second one if it doesn't have any network interface configured ? - Should I use ASDM or command line ? - Should I apply preempt on all interfaces ? Any help welcome and help will be rewarded if the setup is fully functional !
