ASAv channel-group command not available under interface

networkwise — Fri, 21 Feb 2020 15:46:38 GMT

Hi,

I have an ASAv Firewall. My goal is to combine a couple of interfaces into a logical port channel.

When I enter config mode and go into an interface the channel-group command is not there.

Wondering what I'm not doing, besides not being smart ?

ASA1(config-if)# ?

Interface configuration commands:

authentication authentication subcommands

bfd BFD interface configuration commands

duplex Configure duplex operation

exit Exit from interface configuration mode

flowcontrol Configure flowcontrol operation

The ASAv does not support Ether-Channels. You also should ask yourself for what it should be used? You would combine two virtual interfaces to a new virtual interface. You don't get any real benefit from that. If you want redundancy for your outside links, just build the channels on the hypervisor-host.

Thanks for your guidance. I'm using the ASAv in a GNS environment, I'd set up a lab and wanted to configure EtherChannel between the Firewall and a IOSv switch. Your comments makes sense.

Thanks for the support.
