Completing Interface Configuration in Transparent Mode (8.3 and Earlier)
Valid values are from 1000 to 3600000 milliseconds. The default is zero. A configured time enables the
detection of unavailable neighbors. Shorter times enable detection more quickly; however, very short
configured times are not recommended in normal IPv6 operation.
Step5 Click Apply.
Completing Interface Configuration in Transparent Mode (8.3
and Earlier)
This section includes tasks to complete the interface configuration for all models in transparent mode.
Note For multiple context mode, complete the tasks in this section in the context execution space. In the
Configuration > Device List pane, double-click the context name under the active device IP address.
This section includes the following topics:
•Task Flow for Completing Interface Configuration, page16-9
•Configuring General Interface Parameters, page16-10
•Configuring a Management Interface (ASA 5510 and Higher), page16-11
•Configuring the MAC Address and MTU, page16-15
•Allowing Same Security Level Communication, page16-17
Task Flow for Completing Interface Configuration
Step1 Complete the procedures in the “Starting Interface Configuration (ASA 5510 and Higher)” section on
page 12-12 or the “Starting ASA 5505 Interface Configuration” section on page13-6.
Step2 (Multiple context mode) In the Configuration > Device List pane, double-click the context name under
the active device IP address.
Step3 Configure general interface parameters, including the interface name and security level. See the
“Configuring General Interface Parameters” section on page16-10.
Step4 (Optional) Configure a management interface. See the “Configuring a Management Interface (ASA 5510
and Higher)” section on page16-11.
Step5 (Optional) Configure the MAC address and the MTU. See the “Configuring the MAC Address and
MTU” section on page 16-15.
Step6 (Optional) Allow same security level communication, either by allowing communication between two
interfaces or by allowing traffic to enter and exit the same interface. See the “Allowing Same Security
Level Communication” section on page 16-17.
