Note
You can use any unused Ethernet interface on the device as the failover
link. The failover link interface is not configured as a normal networking
interface; it should only be used for the failover link. You can connect the
LAN-based failover link by using a dedicated switch with no hosts or
routers on the link or by using a crossover Ethernet cable to link the units
directly. For more information, see the Configuring Failover chapter in
the
Cisco ASA 5500 Series Configuration Guide using the CLI
. See also
Chapter 4, “Ports and LEDs”
for information about the Ethernet
interfaces.

The 4GE SSM is optional; therefore, this step is necessary only if you have
installed a 4GE SSM on the adaptive security appliance.
