If you have been a long time Netscreen user and are thinking about upgrading to Juniper SRX, beware of the HA configuration complexity with JunOS, it is very unique and is a real challenge to master. You will definitely wish Juniper would have left it the way it was in Netscreen.

Default Cisco ASA Failover Times

By default failover in ASA HA firewalls will occur in

-  15 secs if the active firewall goes down.

-  25 secs if an interface on active firewall is flapping

-  5 secs if an interface on the firewall goes down

-  2 secs if a module on the active firewall goes down.

Use the failover polltime command on the active firewall to change from the default values.
