Cisco Secure Firewall ISA3000 ip on interface

[olga]

Hello, 

So i recently got a Cisco Secure Firewall ISA3000 and i was trying to set it up, however, i noticed that my interface commands are different. 

mobile(config-if)# int Gi1/1
mobile(config-if)# ip address 10.10.1.37 255.255.255.0
^
ERROR: % Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
mobile(config-if)# ?

Interface configuration commands:
bridge-group                                               
cts                                                               
default 
description 
duplex 
exit 
flowcontrol 
help 
ipv6 
lacp 
mac-address 
nameif 
no 
nve-only 
ptp 
security-level 
shutdown
speed 
traffic-forward 

I could use a BVI however, even with that BVI1 setup and the interface showing bridge-group 1. on the switch that i connected that firewall to it wasnt showing me a mac address to that interface so not sure if it was even detecting that firewall. I tested the cable going from firewall to switch the cable was good. On the running config it didnt' say that interface was shutdown, however, i was trying Gi1/2 and Gi1/1 on that firewall to see if i can set up an ip to that interface. 

Any ideas?

Lol,  Thank you @marce1000 . Turns out the firewall was running on "transparent mode" that is why i couldn't set ip to interfaces. 

Appreciate it.
