ASA-Failover

Hi,

I have ASA with same hardware and software version, I have configured *stateful
failover*, after configuring primary ,i have booted the secondary and i
issued a write standby command on primary but no effect on secondary, My
inside interface and failover interface are on the same switch but in
different vlan.

I have read in book that while configuring STATEFUL FAILOVER u dont need to
configure anything on secondary. But Still i have specified inside ip
address but no output, where i m missing something friends,i have used 1
dedicated interface for failover and rest 3 for inside,outside,DMZ,

failover lan unit primary
failover link failover gig0/3
failover interface ip failover 192.168.3.1 255.255.255.0 standby 192.168.3.2
failover key cisco
failover replication http
failover

*Secondary:*
failover lan unit secondary
failover link failover GigabitEthernet0/3
failover key cisco
failover interface ip Failover 192.168.3.1 255.255.255.0 standby 192.168.3.2
failover replication http
failover
I m getting this warning.on secondary

WARNING: Failover enabled but the failover interface configuration is
incomplete
        Failover will not take effect until the interface is fully
configured
