I tried to configure R1 and R2 exactly like the lab suggests, i double checked configs, I restarted routers, copied again configs... it doesn't work. It is very strange because the solution proposed it's exactly what Cisco report in the configuration guide for IOS 15.1. All the verification output work like from the workbook.
The problem I found is that the SW2 telnet session stuck
SW1#telnet 150.1.3.3
Trying 150.1.3.3 ... Open
R2# show policy-firewall session ha
is empty while
R1#show policy-firewall session ha
