Hi,

I have a problem and I'd like to ask for some assistance.

* Site B - failover - works fine
I configured two ASAs 5550 for failover with following schematic
setup:

interface outside
 ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.0 standby 1.1.1.2
interface inside
 ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0 standby 10.10.10.2
I configured stateful failover - it all works fine

* Side A and Side B - VPN - works fine
Now I configured
- VPN between site A - 1.1.1.1 and site B 2.2.2.2
- I can communicate my management inside network 192.168.1.0/24 on
site B
- VPN works fine I can access (and manage via snmp, ssh) IP 10.10.10.1
(active standby) from 192.168.1.0/24 as well as any other machines on
10.10.10.0/24 layer.

* The problem - access to standby inside IP from management network

I cannot access standby inside IP - 10.10.10.2 from 192.168.1.0/24
(via VPN)
Standby device maintains VPN SA and tcp states tables.
When I think about this it makes sense - standby is standby and it is
supposed to work in case of active failure, so when I try to access
intside IP of standby device it tries to send traffic back via VPN
which is working only on active device.

My question is - is there any way to manage standby device via inside
IP (via VPN), or the only way is to use outside IP?

thanks in advance

Piotr
