cisco asa 5540 with SSM-4GE has "Interface Internal-Data1/0 "", is administratively down, line protocol is up"

[Giorgio Romano]

hello everybody,

as in the title I have a doubt about a cisco asa 5540 with an SSM-4GE module.

when I issue the "show interface detail | b Internal-Data1/0" command, the output I got is that the interface is in administratively down state.

Is it normal this interface state?

I found that the "Internal-Data1/0" interface is in "up, line protocol is up" state.

Does someone know if my interface state is normal or not?

If is not a normal state, How can I able to bring it in "up, protocol is up" state?

thank you very much

Hi,

Are you currently using any of the 4 GE-SSM interfaces ? If not , it should be normal and you can use one of the interface to bring this State UP.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Vibhor,

thank you for the answer.

I use all the interfaces on the SSM-4GE!

as soon as possible I post the entire output of "show interface detail" and " show version" commands
