Re: FWSM issue

Here are some troubleshooting steps:

1- Make sure both FWSM must have same software version, license and in
the same routed or transparent mode.

2- Same Vlans should be allowed on both FWSM trunks.

3- Enable "monitor-interface" on all interfaces.

Did you see any logs when both FWSM became Active/Active?

Anser
