How to configure ASA-5508-X to operate as simple switch

[lou.gagne@hughes.com]

I would like to configure my Cisco router to act as a switch so that all 8 ports plus the management port can talk to one another.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi

All 8 ports are routed interfaces. This asa doesn't work like a switch. You can create sub interfaces using specific vlans on each but they'll be different zone even with the same security level; this means rules apply between interfaces using a acl, same-security command, ...

You have to use it as full routed interfaces and not switching.
