Guidelines and Limitations
Guidelines and Limitations
This section includes the guidelines and limitations for this feature.
Context Mode Guidelines
• For the ASA 5510 and higher in multiple context mode, configure the physical interfaces in the
system execution space according to
Chapter 6, “Starting Interface Configuration
(ASA 5510 and Higher).” Then, configure the logical interface parameters in the context execution
space according to this chapter.
The ASA 5505 does not support multiple context mode.
• 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 .
• PPPoE is not supported in multiple context mode.
Firewall Mode Guidelines
Supported in routed firewall mode. For transparent mode, see Chapter 9, “Completing Interface
Configuration (Transparent Mode).”
Failover Guidelines
Do not finish configuring failover interfaces with the procedures in this chapter. 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. In multiple context mode, failover interfaces are
configured in the system configuration.
IPv6 Guidelines
Supports IPv6.
Default Settings
This section lists default settings for interfaces if you do not have a factory default configuration. For
information about the factory default configurations, see the
“Factory Default Configurations” section
on page 2-10 .
Default Security Level
The default security level is 0. If you name an interface “inside” and you do not set the security level
explicitly, then the ASA sets the security level to 100.
Note If you change the security level of an interface, and you do not want to wait for existing connections to
time out before the new security information is used, you can clear the connections using the
clear local-host command.
