Cisco ASA Series CLI Configuration Guide
Chapter 1 Configuring a Cluster of ASAs
Configuration Examples for ASA Clustering
Firewall on a Stick
Data traffic from different security domains are associated with different VLANs, for example,
VLAN 10 for the inside network and VLAN 20 for the outside network. Each ASA has a single physical
port connected to the external switch or router. Trunking is enabled so that all packets on the physical
link are 802.1q encapsulated. The ASA is the firewall between VLAN 10 and VLAN 20.
When using Spanned EtherChannels, all data links are grouped into one EtherChannel on the switch side.
If an ASA becomes unavailable, the switch will rebalance traffic between the remaining units.
