If you are using any fiber connections in Slot 1, you must change the media type
setting from the default setting to Fiber Connector.
Because the default media type setting is for a copper Ethernet port, you do not
need to set the media type setting for copper Ethernet ports you use.
To set the media type for fiber interfaces using ASDM, perform the following
steps starting from the main ASDM window:
In the ASDM window, click Configuration.
In the Features pane, click Interfaces.
Click the 4GE SSM interface and click Edit. The Edit Interface dialog box
appears.
Click Configure Hardware Properties. The Hardware Properties dialog box
appears.
From the Media Type drop-down list, choose Fiber Connector.
Click OK to return to the Edit Interfaces dialog box, then click OK to return to
the interfaces configuration dialog box.
Repeat this procedure for each fiber interface.
You can also set the media type from the command line. For more information,
see Configuring Ethernet Settings and Subinterfaces in the
Appliance Command Line Configuration
Chapter 5 Configuring the Adaptive Security Appliance
Guide.
