ASAv channel-group command not available under interface

networkwise
Level 1
Level 1

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 ?

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.
