[c-nsp] active/standy failover

"You can run ASA LAN failover over one (or configure them separately).  I remember reading (or think I did) somewhere that it was preferable to run this failover link through a switch as opposed to a crossover cable, but I can't cite a reference."


For what its worth: We had 2 clusters that we set up some months apart - the first set a straight thru cable worked OK and for the 2nd set a straight thru didn't. No clue why. (Same models, same version of code, same failover interface). Took us a few hours to figure out to use a crossover on the 2nd pair.

Definitely one of those head scratching moments.....
