mahesh18

Level 6

Hi Everyone,

ASA  have two context groups say admin and and x.

Its interface gi0/2  has 6 subinterfaces  from 1 to 6.

3 subinterfaces ----0/2.1 to 3 are in admin and last 3 are in context x.

when i went to system context  it does not show where interface gi0/2 belongs to it only shows up up.

how can i find which context group physical interface gi0/2 belongs?

Thanks

Mahesh

Hi Mahesh,

As you said, the interface GigabitEthernet0/2 is divided into subinterfaces. This means its a Trunk interface. The ASA has a Trunk with some other device connected to it.

So the physical interface (Trunk) itself doesnt belong to any context. Its subinterfaces however belong to the contexts as you mentioned.

Hi,

If a physical interface has subinterfaces then its considered a Trunk interface

For example

interface GigabitEthernet0/1

interface GigabitEthernet0/1.100

description LAN

vlan 100

I guess in the System Contex you should see same type of configurations for the GigabitEthernet0/2 interface and subinterface configurations?

Hi Jouni,

Is there any way i can check in running config that will show its trunk interface?

thanks
