Cisco ASA failover links ipv6 address ( ipv6 tips )

The cisco ASA firewall  allows for you to manage failover link addressing  with  an ipv6 address.

It's uses the exact same command but just subsitute the  ipv4 address with a ipv6;

e.g ( master )


failover
failover lan unit primary 
<------MASTER
failover lan interface LANFAIL Port-channel1
failover polltime unit msec 300 holdtime msec 900
failover polltime interface 2 holdtime 15
failover replication http
failover link LANFAIL Port-channel1
failover interface ip LANFAIL 2001:db8:666::1/64 standby 2001:db8:666::2
failover group 1
  preempt
failover group 2
  secondary
  preempt


e.g (slave )


failover
failover lan unit secondary   <------STANDBY
failover lan interface LANFAIL Port-channel1
failover polltime unit msec 300 holdtime msec 900
failover polltime interface 2 holdtime 15
failover replication http
failover link LANFAIL Port-channel1
failover interface ip LANFAIL 2001:db8:666::1/64 standby 2001:db8:666::2
failover group 1
  preempt
failover group 2
  secondary
  preempt



As usual you can define a ipv6 address on your ifname and specify a ipv6 address for standby


!
interface gi0/0
 nameif  inside_trust
 security-level 100

 ipv6 enable
 ip address 192.168.88.1  255.255.255.0 standby 192.168.88.2

 ipv6 address 2001:db8:192::1/64 standby 2001:db8:192::2

 end
