ASA5510/2960 vlan subinterfaces

churchillma
Level 1
Level 1

Hello, I'd like to know if the setup below is a viable configuration for what I'm trying to do.  All of the users are on vlan 1 for data and I created some subinterfaces for other networks to work off of.  Subinterfaces were created for vlans 20,60,200

Here is the switch config

vlan 20

name F5

!

vlan 60

name Guest-Wireless

!

vlan 200

name Lab

!

vlan 999

name BlackHole

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/1

description ASA-Main-Inside

switchport trunk native vlan 999

switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,20,60,200

switchport mode trunk

spanning-tree portfast trunk

The ASA config

interface Ethernet0/1

no nameif

security-level 100

no ip address

!

interface Ethernet0/1.1

vlan 1

nameif Inside

security-level 100

ip address 10.1.1.253 255.255.255.0 standby 10.1.1.252

!

interface Ethernet0/1.20

vlan 20

nameif F5

security-level 0

ip address 10.1.20.1 255.255.255.0 standby 10.1.20.2

!

interface Ethernet0/1.60

vlan 60

nameif Guest

security-level 0

ip address 10.1.60.1 255.255.255.0 standby 10.1.60.2

!

interface Ethernet0/1.200

vlan 200

nameif Lab

security-level 0

ip address 10.1.200.1 255.255.255.0 standby 10.1.200.2

I read one article that mentioned leaving the vlan 1 IP information on the physical interface and leaving the native vlan on the switch as 1 (untagged) but I think from what I'm doing, I'm accomplishing the same thing.

Thoughts?

You configured it the way it should be done. The only thing that is not best practice is the usage of VLAN 1 for users. But the native VLAN should not be used on a security-device. So it's correct to also have a subinterface for that VLAN and not to use a nameif/ip-config under the major interface of the ASA.

Yeah, I understand about not using vlan 1, just the way it is for now.  Thanks for the reply.
