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 page9-11.
(Optional) Configure the MAC address and the MTU. See the “Configuring the MAC Address and
MTU” section on page 9-12.
(Optional) Configure IPv6 addressing. See the “Configuring IPv6 Addressing” section on
page 9-15.
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 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 page9-11 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.
Step2 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.
Step3 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.
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).
