Starting Interface Configuration
(ASA 5510 and Higher)
This chapter includes tasks for starting your interface configuration for the ASA 5510 and higher,
including configuring Ethernet settings, redundant interfaces, and EtherChannels.
Note This chapter only applies to the ASA 5500 series appliances; for the ASASM, starting interface
configuration consists of configuring switch ports and VLANs on the switch, and then assigning VLANs
to the ASASM according to Chapter 1, “Configuring the Switch for Use with the
ASA Services Module.” To complete your interface configuration, see Chapter 1, “Completing Interface
Configuration (Routed Mode),” or Chapter 1, “Completing Interface Configuration
(Transparent Mode).”
For ASA 5505 configuration, see Chapter 1, “Starting Interface Configuration (ASA 5505).”
For multiple context mode, complete all tasks in this section in the system execution space. To change
from the context to the system execution space, enter the changeto system command.
For ASA cluster interfaces, which have special requirements, see Chapter 1, “Configuring a Cluster of
ASAs.”
