Completing Interface Configuration in Transparent Mode (8.4 and Later)
Note When you set the MTU for a redundant or port-channel interface, the ASA applies the setting to
all member interfaces.
•For models that support jumbo frames in single mode—If you enter a value for any interface that is
greater than 1500, then you enable jumbo frame support automatically for all interfaces. If you set
the MTU for all interfaces back to a value under 1500, then jumbo frame support is disabled.
•For models that support jumbo frames in multiple mode—If you enter a value for any interface that
is greater than 1500, then be sure to enable jumbo frame support in the system configuration. See
the “Enabling Jumbo Frame Support (Supported Models)” section on page 12-38.
Note Enabling or disabling jumbo frame support requires you to reload the ASA.
Step5 To manually assign a MAC address to this interface, enter a MAC address in the Active Mac Address
field in H.H.H format, where H is a 16-bit hexadecimal digit.
For example, the MACaddress 00-0C-F1-42-4C-DE would be entered as 000C.F142.4CDE. The first
two bytes of a manual MAC address cannot be A2 if you also want to use auto-generated MAC addresses.
Step6 If you use failover, enter the standby MAC address in the Standby Mac Address field. If the active unit
fails over and the standby unit becomes active, the new active unit starts using the active MAC addresses
to minimize network disruption, while the old active unit uses the standby address.
What to Do Next
(Optional) Configure IPv6 addressing. See the “Configuring IPv6 Addressing” section on page 15-16.
