Starting Interface Configuration (ASA 5510 and Higher)
What to Do Next
Optional Tasks:
• Customize the EtherChannel interface. See the “Customizing the EtherChannel” section on
page 12-32.
• Configure VLAN subinterfaces. See the “Configuring VLAN Subinterfaces and 802.1Q Trunking”
section on page 12-35.
Required Tasks:
• For multiple context mode, assign interfaces to contexts and automatically assign unique MAC
addresses to context interfaces. See the “Configuring Multiple Contexts” section on page 11-14.
• For single context mode, complete the interface configuration. See the Chapter 14, “Completing
Interface Configuration (Routed Mode),” or Chapter 15, “Completing Interface Configuration
(Transparent Mode, 8.4 and Later).”
Customizing the EtherChannel
This section describes how to set the maximum number of interfaces in the EtherChannel, the minimum
number of operating interfaces for the EtherChannel to be active, the load balancing algorithm, and other
optional parameters.
Detailed Steps
Step 1 Depending on your context mode:
• For single mode, choose the Configuration > Device Setup > Interfaces pane.
• For multiple mode in the System execution space, choose the Configuration > Context
Management > Interfaces pane.
Step 2 Click the port-channel interface you want to customize, and click Edit.
The Edit Interface dialog box appears.
Step 3 To override the media type, duplex, speed, and pause frames for flow control for all member interfaces,
click Configure Hardware Properties. This method provides a shortcut to set these parameters because
these parameters must match for all interfaces in the channel group.
