Chapter 1 Completing Interface Configuration (Routed Mode)
Task Flow for Completing Interface Configuration
Step 1
Set up your interfaces depending on your model:
•
•
•
Step 2
(Multiple context mode) Allocate interfaces to the context according to the
Contexts" section on page
Step 3
(Multiple context mode) Enter the changeto context name command to change to the context you want
to configure. Configure general interface parameters, including the interface name, security level, and
IPv4 address. See the
Step 4
(Optional) Configure the MAC address and the MTU. See the
MTU" section on page
Step 5
(Optional) Configure IPv6 addressing. See the
Step 6
(Optional) Allow same security level communication, either by allowing communication between two
interfaces or by allowing traffic to enter and exit the same interface. See the
Level Communication" section on page
Configuring General Interface Parameters
This procedure describes how to set the name, security level, IPv4 address and other options.
For the ASA 5510 and higher, you must configure interface parameters for the following interface types:

•
For the ASA 5505 and ASASM, you must configure interface parameters for the following interface
types:

For the ASA 5550, for maximum throughput, be sure to balance your traffic over the two interface
slots; for example, assign the inside interface to slot 1 and the outside interface to slot 0.
If you are using failover, do not use this procedure to name interfaces that you are reserving for
failover and Stateful Failover communications. See the
section on page 1-7 or the
the failover and state links.
PPPoE is not supported in multiple context mode.
