Chapter 8 Completing Interface Configuration (Routed Mode)
Completing Interface Configuration in Routed Mode
• 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.
Restrictions
• PPPoE is not supported in multiple context mode.
Prerequisites
• Set up your interfaces depending on your model:
– ASA 5510 and higher— Chapter 6, “Starting Interface Configuration (ASA 5510 and Higher).”
– ASA 5505— Chapter 7, “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.
Detailed Steps
Command Purpose
Step 1 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
gigabithethernet 0/0
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.
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.
Step 2 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.
Step 3 Do one of the following:
