By default, the Management 1/1, Ethernet 1/1, and Ethernet 1/2 interfaces are physically enabled for the
chassis and logically enabled in the ASA configuration. To use any additional interfaces, you must enable it
for the chassis using this procedure, and then later enable it in the ASA configuration. You can also add
EtherChannels (known as port-channels).
Note If you change the interfaces in FXOS after you enable failover (by adding or removing a network module, or
by changing the EtherChannel configuration, for example), make the interface changes in FXOS on the standby
unit, and then make the same changes on the active unit.
If you remove an interface in FXOS (for example, if you remove a network module, remove an EtherChannel,
or reassign an interface to an EtherChannel), then the ASA configuration retains the original commands so
that you can make any necessary adjustments; removing an interface from the configuration can have wide
effects. You can manually remove the old interface configuration in the ASA OS.
Before you begin
• Log into the Firepower Chassis Manager. See
