Cisco ASA 5500 Series Configuration Guide using the CLI
Chapter63 Configuring Active/Active Failover
Configuring Active/Active Failover
hostname/ctx(config)# interface phy_if
hostname/ctx(config-if)# asr-group num
Valid values for num range from 1 to 32. You need to enter the command for each interface that
participates in the asymmetric routing group. You can view the number of ASR packets transmitted,
received, or dropped by an interface using the show interface detail command. You can have more than
one ASR group configured on the ASA, but only one per interface. Only members of the same ASR
group are checked for session information.
Example
Figure 63-1 shows an example of using the asr-group command for asymmetric routing support.

device labeled SecAppA in the diagram is the primary unit in the failover pair.
