Monitoring Failover
Just as with accepted failover application the consecutive cable, you can appearance failover status
using the appearance failover command. In addition, you can get a quick cachet of LANbased
failover application the afterward command:
PIX1# appearance failover lan
LAN-based Failover is Active
interface abort (10.20.1.1): Normal, associate (10.20.1.2): Normal

To appearance LAN-based failover details, use the appearance failover lan detail command
(see Figure 8.12).
