Cisco ASA Series CLI Configuration Guide
Chapter 1 Configuring a Cluster of ASAs
Configuring ASA Clustering
•
For transparent mode, configure the bridge group according to the
.
Guidelines
•
Do not
specify the maximum and minimum links in the EtherChannel—We recommend that you do
not specify the maximum and minimum links in the EtherChannel (The
lacp max-bundle
and
port-channel min-bundle
commands) on either the ASA or the switch. If you need to use them,
note the following:
–
The maximum links set on the ASA is the total number of active ports for the whole cluster. Be
sure the maximum links value configured on the switch is not larger than the ASA value.
–
The minimum links set on the ASA is the minimum active ports to bring up a port-channel
interface
per unit
. On the switch, the minimum links is the minimum links across the cluster, so
this value will not match the ASA value.
•
Do not
change the load-balancing algorithm from the default (see the
port-channel load-balance
command). On the switch, we recommend that you use one of the following algorithms:
source-dest-ip
or
source-dest-ip-port
(see the Nexus OS and IOS
port-channel load-balance
command). Do not use a
vlan
keyword in the load-balance algorithm because it can cause unevenly
distributed traffic to the ASAs in a cluster.
•
The
lacp port-priority
and
lacp system-priority
commands are not used for a Spanned
EtherChannel.
•
When using Spanned EtherChannels, the port-channel interface will not come up until clustering is
fully enabled (see the
“Configuring Spanned EtherChannels” section on page 1-33
). This
requirement prevents traffic from being forwarded to a unit that is not an active unit in the cluster.
•
For detailed EtherChannel guidelines, limitations, and prerequisites, see the
EtherChannel” section on page 1-28

“EtherChannel Guidelines” section on page 1-11
