Starting Interface Configuration (ASA 5510 and Higher)
Because the physical or redundant interface must be enabled for the subinterface to pass traffic,
ensure that the physical or redundant interface does not pass traffic by not configuring a name for
the interface. If you want to let the physical or redundant interface pass untagged packets, you can
configure the name as usual. See Chapter 14, “Completing Interface Configuration (Routed Mode),”
or Chapter 15, “Completing Interface Configuration (Transparent Mode, 8.4 and Later),” for more
information about completing the interface configuration.

interface.
