Cisco ASA 5500 Series Configuration Guide using the CLI
Chapter8 Completing Interface Configuration (Routed Mode)
Completing Interface Configuration in Routed Mode
Example
The following example configures parameters for VLAN 101:
hostname(config)# interface vlan 101
hostname(config-if)# nameif inside
hostname(config-if)# security-level 100
hostname(config-if)# ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
The following example configures parameters in multiple context mode for the context configuration.
The interface ID is a mapped name.
hostname/contextA(config)# interface int1
ip address ip_address [mask] [standby
ip_address]
Example:
hostname(config-if)# ip address 10.1.1.1
255.255.255.0 standby 10.1.1.2
Sets the IP address manually.
Note For use with failover, you must set the IP address and
standby address manually; DHCP and PPPoE are not
supported.
The ip_address and mask arguments set the interface IP address
and subnet mask.
The standby ip_address argument is used for failover. See the
“Configuring Active/Standby Failover” section on page 62-7 or
the “Configuring Active/Active Failover” section on page63-8
for more information.
ip address dhcp [setroute]
Example:
hostname(config-if)# ip address dhcp
Obtains an IP address from a DHCP server.
The setroute keyword lets the ASA use the default route supplied
by the DHCP server.
Reenter this command to reset the DHCP lease and request a new
lease.
If you do not enable the interface using the no shutdown
command before you enter the ip address dhcp command, some
DHCP requests might not be sent.
To obtain an IP address from a PPPoE server, see
Chapter 72, “Configuring the PPPoE Client.”
PPPoE is not supported in multiple context mode.
Step4 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). See the “Security Levels” section on
page 8-1.
Step5 (Optional)
management-only
Example:
hostname(config-if)# management-only
Sets an interface to management-only mode so that it does not
pass through traffic.
By default, Management interfaces are configured as
management-only. To disable this setting, enter the no
management-only command.
(ASA 5512-X through ASA 5555-X) You cannot disable
management-only on the Management 0/0 interface.
The management-only command is not supported for a
redundant interface.
