Starting Interface Configuration (ASA 5510 and Higher)
Guidelines and Limitations
•
Maximum subinterfaces—To determine how many VLAN subinterfaces are allowed for your
platform, see the
“Licensing Requirements for ASA 5510 and Higher Interfaces” section on
•
Preventing untagged packets on the physical interface—If you use subinterfaces, you typically do
not also want the physical interface to pass traffic, because the physical interface passes untagged
packets. This property is also true for the active physical interface in a redundant interface pair.
Because the physical or redundant interface must be enabled for the subinterface to pass traffic,
ensure that the physical or redundant interface does not pass traffic by leaving out the
nameif
command. If you want to let the physical or redundant interface pass untagged packets, you can
configure the
nameif
command as usual. See
Chapter 1, “Completing Interface Configuration
or
Chapter 1, “Completing Interface Configuration (Transparent Mode),”
for more
information about completing the interface configuration.
•
(ASA 5512-X through ASA 5555-X) You cannot configure subinterfaces on the Management 0/0
interface.
Prerequisites
For multiple context mode, complete this procedure in the system execution space. To change from the
context to the system execution space, enter the
changeto system
command.
Detailed Steps
Command
Purpose
Step 1
interface
{
physical_interface
|
redundant
number
|
port-channel
number
}
.
subinterface
Example:
hostname(config)# interface
gigabitethernet 0/1.100
Specifies the new subinterface. See the
Interface and Configuring Ethernet Parameters”
section for a
description of the physical interface ID.
The
redundant
number
argument is the redundant interface ID,
such as
redundant 1
.
The
port-channel
number
argument is the EtherChannel interface
ID, such as
port-channel 1
.
The
subinterface
ID is an integer between 1 and 4294967293.
Step 2
vlan
vlan_id
Example:
hostname(config-subif)# vlan 101
Specifies the VLAN for the subinterface. The
vlan_id
is an integer
between 1 and 4094. Some VLAN IDs might be reserved on
connected switches, so check the switch documentation for more
information.
You can only assign a single VLAN to a subinterface, and you
cannot assign the same VLAN to multiple subinterfaces. You
cannot assign a VLAN to the physical interface. Each subinterface
must have a VLAN ID before it can pass traffic. To change a
VLAN ID, you do not need to remove the old VLAN ID with the
no
option; you can enter the
vlan
command with a different
VLAN ID, and the ASA changes the old ID.
