Task Flow for Starting Interface Configuration
Note
If you have an existing configuration, and want to convert interfaces that are in use to a redundant or
EtherChannel interface, perform your configuration offline to minimize disruption. See the
In-Use Interfaces to a Redundant or EtherChannel Interface" section on page
To start configuring interfaces, perform the following steps:
Step 1
(Multiple context mode) Complete all tasks in this section in the system execution space. To change from
the context to the system execution space, enter the changeto system command.
Step 2
Enable the physical interface, and optionally change Ethernet parameters. See the
Interface and Configuring Ethernet Parameters" section on page
Physical interfaces are disabled by default.
Step 3
(Optional) Configure redundant interface pairs. See the
page
A logical redundant interface pairs an active and a standby physical interface. When the active interface
fails, the standby interface becomes active and starts passing traffic.
Step 4
(Optional) Configure an EtherChannel. See the
An EtherChannel groups multiple Ethernet interfaces into a single logical interface.
Note
Step 5
(Optional) Configure VLAN subinterfaces. See the
Trunking" section on page
Step 6
(Optional) Enable jumbo frame support on the ASA 5580 and 5585-X according to the
Frame Support (Supported Models)" section on page
Step 7
(Multiple context mode only) To complete the configuration of interfaces in the system execution space,
perform the following tasks that are documented in
