ASA 5506-X, 5508-X, and 5516-X Default Configuration
Procedure
Step 1
For failover, power off the standby unit.
To prevent the standby unit from becoming active, you must power it off. If you leave it on, when you erase
the active unit configuration, then the standby unit becomes active. When the former active unit reloads and
reconnects over the failover link, the old configuration will sync from the new active unit, wiping out the
deployment configuration you wanted.
Step 2
Restore the deployment configuration after you reload. For failover, enter this command on the active unit:
write erase
Note
Step 3
Reload the ASAv and load the deployment configuration:
reload
Step 4
For failover, power on the standby unit.
After the active unit reloads, power on the standby unit. The deployment configuration will sync to the standby
unit.
