Chapter 11 Configuring the 4GE SSM for Fiber

Setting the 4GE SSM Media Type for Fiber Interfaces (Optional)

Note Because the default media type setting is Ethernet, you do not need to change the media type setting for Ethernet interfaces you use.

To set the media type for SFP interfaces using ASDM, perform the following steps starting from the main ASDM window:

Step 1 At the top of the ASDM window, click the Configuration tab.

Step 2 On the left side of the ASDM window, click the Interfaces tab.

Step 3 Click the 4GE SSM interface and click Edit. The Edit Interface dialog box appears.

Step 4 Click Configure Hardware Properties. The Hardware Properties dialog box appears.

Step 5 From the Media Type drop-down list, choose Fiber Connector.

Step 6 Click OK to return to the Edit Interfaces dialog box, then click OK to return to the interfaces configuration dialog box.

Step 7 Repeat this procedure for each SFP interface.

You can also set the media type from the command line. For more information, see "Configuring Ethernet Settings and Subinterfaces" in the Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide.
