Multiple context and IP address on interface

[kcmusa108]

Just starting to learn about multiple context and and not sure about interfaces.

Do you have to use VLANs?

I tryed to setup an interface and the ip address command is not there, I am not using VLANs.

I did allocate an interface to the context.

Hi kcmusa108,

What are you talking about? ASA, FWSM?

To FWSM you need decide how it will work: routed or transparent mode;

You should also create the interfaces vlans at the system context;

After, you should change to the new context and then configure it.

If you choose transparent mode, you will be able to create BVI interfaces and if you choose routed mode, you can configure ip address at interface vlans.

Hi,

Please follow this configuration guide for multiple context on ASA, I am sure you would not have any issues after it:
