Completing Interface Configuration in Transparent Mode
For the ASA 5505, you must configure interface parameters for the following interface types:
• VLAN interfaces
Guidelines and Limitations
• You can configure up to four interfaces per bridge group.
• For the ASA 5550, for maximum throughput, be sure to balance your traffic over the two interface
slots; for example, assign the inside interface to slot 1 and the outside interface to slot 0.
• For information about security levels, see the “Security Levels” section on page 9-2 .
• 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.
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.
