Configuring Interfaces in Multiple Mode
This chapter describes how to configure and enable physical Ethernet interfaces, how to create redundant
interface pairs, and how to add subinterfaces in the system configuration. If you have both fiber and
copper Ethernet ports (for example, on the 4GE SSM for the ASA 5510 and higher series adaptive
security appliance), this chapter describes how to configure the interface media type.
For each interface assigned to a context (physical, redundant, or subinterface), this chapter tells how to
configure a name, security level, and IP address (routed firewall mode only).
Note To configure interfaces in single context mode, see Chapter 7, “Configuring Interfaces in Single Mode.”
This chapter includes the following sections:
• Configuring Interfaces in the System Configuration (Multiple Mode), page 8-1
• Allocating Interfaces to Contexts, page 8-7
• Configuring Interface Parameters within each Context (Multiple Mode), page 8-7
