Configuring ASA Clustering
What to Do Next
Configure the master unit bootstrap settings. See the
“Configuring the Master Unit Bootstrap Settings”
Configuring the Master Unit Bootstrap Settings
Each unit in the cluster requires a bootstrap configuration to join the cluster. Typically, the first unit you
configure to join the cluster will be the master unit. After you enable clustering, after an election period,
the cluster elects a master unit. With only one unit in the cluster initially, that unit will become the master
unit. Subsequent units that you add to the cluster will be slave units.

Transparent Mode:
bridge-group
number
Example:
hostname(config-if)# bridge-group 1
Assigns the interface to a bridge group, where
number
is an
integer between 1 and 100. You can assign up to four interfaces to
a bridge group. You cannot assign the same interface to more than
one bridge group. Note that the BVI configuration includes the
IP address.
Step 12
security-level
number
Example:
hostname(config-if)# security-level 50
Sets the security level, where
number
is an integer between 0
(lowest) and 100 (highest). See the
Step 13
mac-address
mac_address
Example:
hostname(config-if)# mac-address
000C.F142.4CDE
You must configure a MAC address for a Spanned EtherChannel
so that the MAC address does not change when the current master
unit leaves the cluster; with a manually-configured MAC address,
the MAC address stays with the current master unit.
In multiple context mode, if you share an interface between
contexts, auto-generation of MAC addresses is enabled by
default, so you only need to set the MAC address manually for a
shared interface if you disable auto-generation. Note that you
must manually configure the MAC address for non-shared
interfaces.
The
mac_address
is in H.H.H format, where H is a 16-bit
hexadecimal digit. For example, the MAC address
00-0C-F1-42-4C-DE is entered as 000C.F142.4CDE.
The first two bytes of a manual MAC address cannot be A2 if you
also want to use auto-generated MAC addresses.
