Managing ASA Cluster Members
Detailed Steps
Command
Step 1
For a slave unit:
cluster group cluster_name
no enable
Example:
hostname(config)# cluster group cluster1
hostname(cfg-cluster)# no enable
Step 2
clear configure cluster
Example:
hostname(config)# clear configure cluster
Step 3
no cluster interface-mode
Example:
hostname(config)# no cluster
interface-mode
Step 4
If you have a backup configuration:
copy backup_cfg running-config
Example:
hostname(config)# copy backup_cluster.cfg
running-config
Source filename [backup_cluster.cfg]?
Destination filename [running-config]?
hostname(config)#
Step 5
write memory
Example:
hostname(config)# write memory
Step 6
If you do not have a backup configuration, reconfigure management access according to
Started." Be sure to change the interface IP addresses, and restore the correct hostname, for example.
Changing the Master Unit
Caution
The best method to change the master unit is to disable clustering on the master unit (see the
an Inactive Member" section on page
clustering. If you must specify the exact unit you want to become the master, use the procedure in this
section. Note, however, that for centralized features, if you force a master unit change using this
procedure, then all connections are dropped, and you have to re-establish the connections on the new
master unit. See the
Cisco ASA Series CLI Configuration Guide
1-50
Purpose
Disables clustering. You cannot make configuration changes
while clustering is enabled on a slave unit.
Clears the cluster configuration. The ASA shuts down all
interfaces including the management interface and cluster control
link.
Disables cluster interface mode. The mode is not stored in the
configuration and must be reset manually.
Copies the backup configuration to the running configuration.
Saves the configuration to startup.
