Chapter 1 Configuring a Cluster of ASAs
Detailed Steps—Single Interface
Command
Step 1
interface interface_id
Example:
hostname(config)# interface
tengigabitethernet 0/6
Step 2
no shutdown
Example:
hostname(config-if)# no shutdown
Detailed Steps—EtherChannel Interface
Command
Step 1
interface interface_id
Example:
hostname(config)# interface
tengigabitethernet 0/6
Step 2
channel-group channel_id mode on
Example:
hostname(config-if)# channel-group 1 mode
on
Step 3
no shutdown
Example:
hostname(config-if)# no shutdown
Step 4
interface interface_id
channel-group channel_id mode on
no shutdown
Example:
hostname(config)# interface
tengigabitethernet 0/7
hostname(config-if)# channel-group 1 mode
on
hostname(config-if)# no shutdown
Purpose
Enters interface configuration mode.
Enables the interface. You only need to enable the interface; do
not configure a name for the interface, or any other parameters.
Purpose
Enters interface configuration mode.
Assigns this physical interface to an EtherChannel with the
channel_id between 1 and 48. If the port-channel interface for this
channel ID does not yet exist in the configuration, one will be
added automatically:
interface port-channel channel_id
We recommend using the On mode for cluster control link
member interfaces to reduce unnecessary traffic on the cluster
control link. The cluster control link does not need the overhead
of LACP traffic because it is an isolated, stable network. Note: We
recommend setting data EtherChannels to Active mode.
Enables the interface.
Repeat for each additional interface you want to add to the
EtherChannel.
