Chapter8 Completing Interface Configuration (Routed Mode)
Completing Interface Configuration in Routed Mode
•If you are using failover, do not use this procedure to name interfaces that you are reserving for
failover and Stateful Failover communications. See the “Configuring Active/Standby Failover”
section on page 62-7 or the “Configuring Active/Active Failover” section on page 63-8 to configure
the failover and state links.
Restrictions
•PPPoE is not supported in multiple context mode.
Prerequisites
•Set up your interfaces depending on your model:
– ASA 5510 and higher—Chapter6, “Starting Interface Configuration (ASA 5510 and Higher).”
– ASA 5505—Chapter7, “Starting Interface Configuration (ASA 5505).”
•In multiple context mode, you can only configure context interfaces that you already assigned to the
context in the system configuration according to the “Configuring Multiple Contexts” section on
page 5-14.
•In multiple context mode, complete this procedure in the context execution space. To change from
the system to a context configuration, enter the changeto context name command.
Detailed Steps
Command Purpose
Step1 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
Example:
hostname(config)# interface
gigabithethernet 0/0
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.
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.
Step2 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.
Step3 Do one of the following:
