Dear All,

#SHOW INTERFACE IP BRIEF

Internal-Control0/0 127.0.1.1 YES unset up up
Internal-Data0/0 unassigned YES unset up up

What is the meaning of "INTERNAL-CONTROL & INTERNAL-DATA" INTERFACES.

WHY THERE IS NO IP OR 127.0.1.1 ONLY.....

Hi,

Those two interfaces are the internal interfaces connecting to the SSMs.Internal-Control0/0 is the interface which is used to communicate with the SSM. You can session into the SSM from the ASA through this interface. The IP address assigned to it is not user-configurable.

Packets which are to be inspected by the SSM flows through Internal-Data0/0, which is the internal data channel. No IP address can be assigned to it.

Hope this helps!

Regards,

Anu.
