  1. Connect both Cisco firewalls through their dedicated failover interfaces.

  2. Verify that failover is off before configuring either unit.

  3. Configure the first firewall as primary and set the failover link addresses.

  4. Configure the other firewall as secondary with the same failover link settings.

  5. The primary reports Active and sees the secondary as Standby Ready.

  6. Check the secondary to confirm it sees the same pair from the other side.

  7. Shut the secondary failover interface and verify that the standby disappears from the primary’s output.

  8. Bring the interface back up and confirm that the secondary returns to Standby Ready.
