This section describes how to configure VLAN interfaces. For more information about ASA 5505
interfaces, see the “Information About ASA 5505 Interfaces” section on page 13-1.

Easy VPN, you cannot add or delete VLAN interfaces, nor can you edit the security level or interface
name.
Detailed Steps

Step 2 On the Interfaces tab, click Add.
