Chapter9 Completing Interface Configuration (Transparent Mode)
Completing Interface Configuration in Transparent Mode
For the ASA 5505, you must configure interface parameters for the following interface types:
VLAN interfaces
Guidelines and Limitations
You can configure up to four interfaces per bridge group.
For the ASA 5550, for maximum throughput, be sure to balance your traffic over the two interface
slots; for example, assign the inside interface to slot 1 and the outside interface to slot 0.
For information about security levels, see the “Security Levels” section on page9-2.
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.
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.
