Completing Interface Configuration in Transparent Mode
Detailed Steps
What to Do Next
•
(Optional) Configure a management interface. See the “Configuring a Management Interface (ASA
5510 and Higher)” section on page 1-12 .
•
(Optional) Configure the MAC address and the MTU. See the “Configuring the MAC Address and
MTU” section on page 1-13 .
•
(Optional) Configure IPv6 addressing. See the “Configuring IPv6 Addressing” section on
page 1-16 .
Command Purpose
Step 1
For the ASA 5510 and higher:
interface {{ redundant number |
port-channel
number |
physical_interface }[ . subinterface ] |
mapped_name }
For the ASA 5505:
hostname(config)# interface { vlan number |
mapped_name }
Example:
hostname(config)# interface vlan 100
If you are not already in interface configuration mode, enters
interface configuration mode.
The redundant number argument is the redundant interface ID,
such as redundant 1 .
The port-channel number argument is the EtherChannel interface
ID, such as port-channel 1 .
See the “Enabling the Physical Interface and Configuring
Ethernet Parameters” section for a description of the physical
interface ID. Do not use this procedure for Management
interfaces; see the
“Configuring a Management Interface (ASA
5510 and Higher)” section on page 1-12 to configure the
Management interface.
Append the subinterface ID to the physical or redundant interface
ID separated by a period (.).
In multiple context mode, enter the mapped_name if one was
assigned using the allocate-interface command.
Step 2
bridge-group number
Example:
hostname(config-if)# bridge-group 1
Assigns the interface to a bridge group, where number is an
integer between 1 and 100. You can assign up to four interfaces to
a bridge group. You cannot assign the same interface to more than
one bridge group.
Step 3
nameif name
Example:
hostname(config-if)# nameif inside
Names the interface.
The name is a text string up to 48 characters, and is not
case-sensitive. You can change the name by reentering this
command with a new value. Do not enter the
no form, because
that command causes all commands that refer to that name to be
deleted.
Step 4
security-level number
Example:
hostname(config-if)# security-level 50
Sets the security level, where number is an integer between 0
(lowest) and 100 (highest).
