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 vlan 100

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. Do not use this procedure for Management
interfaces; see the

“Configuring a Management Interface (ASA

5510 and Higher)” section on page 9-11

to configure the

Management interface.

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

bridge-group

number

Example:

hostname(config-if)# bridge-group 1

Assigns the interface to a bridge group, where number is an
integer between 1 and 100. You can assign up to four interfaces to
a bridge group. You cannot assign the same interface to more than
one bridge group.

Step 3

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 4

security-level

number

Example:

hostname(config-if)# security-level 50

Sets the security level, where number is an integer between 0
(lowest) and 100 (highest).
