Understanding Failover

shows a typical intra-switch configuration.

Intra-Switch Failover
Inter-Chassis Failover
To protect against switch-level failure, you can install the secondary FWSM in a separate switch. FWSM
does not coordinate failover directly with the switch, but it works harmoniously with the switch failover
operation. See the switch documentation to configure failover for the switch.
To accommodate the failover communications between FWSMs, we recommend that you configure a
trunk port between the two switches that carries the failover and state VLANs. The trunk ensures that
failover communication between the two units is subject to minimal failure risk.
For other VLANs, you must ensure that both switches have access to all firewall VLANs, and that
monitored VLANs can successfully pass hello packets between both switches.
Figure 14-2
shows a typical switch and FWSM redundancy configuration. The trunk between the two
switches carries the failover FWSM VLANs (VLANs 10 and 11).
Note
FWSM failover is independent of the switch failover operation; however, FWSM works in any switch
failover scenario.
