So everything I've read on Cisco's documentation here: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa84/configuration/guide/interface_start.html#wp1329030 says that I can create a port-channel on two physical interfaces that will uplink to a VSS pair. However, the command is not recognized. What am I missing? I've tried executing "channel-group #" on the physical interface and tried creating the port-channel 1st and neither commands exist. I haven't seen it listed anywhere if it is only available after a specific piece of ASA software. If it is the software would someone know what version at a minimum I need to upgrade to? Below is an output from a show version

Hi,
You need software 8.4(1) atleast to be able to configure Port Channel / Etherchannel
Here is the section from the command reference which states this
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa84/command/reference/i3.html#wp1932200
Naturally in your case if you were to upgrade the ASA to 8.4(x) software it would mean that NAT configuration format would be totally different compared to your software version of 8.0.
