Chapter 12 Starting Interface Configuration (ASA 5510 and Higher)
Starting Interface Configuration (ASA 5510 and Higher)
Note In single mode, this procedure only covers a subset of the parameters on the Edit Interface dialog
box; to configure other parameters, see Chapter 14, “Completing Interface Configuration
(Routed Mode),” or Chapter 15, “Completing Interface Configuration (Transparent Mode, 8.4
and Later).” Note that in multiple context mode, before you complete your interface
configuration, you need to allocate interfaces to contexts. See the “Configuring Multiple
Contexts” section on page 11-14.
Step 3 To enable the interface, check the Enable Interface check box.
Step 4 To add a description, enter text in the Description field.
The description can be up to 240 characters on a single line, without carriage returns. In the case of a
failover or state link, the description is fixed as “LAN Failover Interface,” “STATE Failover Interface,”
or “LAN/STATE Failover Interface,” for example. You cannot edit this description. The fixed description
overwrites any description you enter here if you make this interface a failover or state link.
Step 5 (Optional) To set the media type, duplex, speed, and enable pause frames for flow control, click
Configure Hardware Properties.
