If you have multiple context

venkat0011 · ‎07-20-2015

Hello All,

I have a very basic issue with adding a sub interface. Iam new to this setup so maybe Iam missing something. Our Cisco 5512 appliance has a few subinterfaces e.g

Interface GigabitEthernet0/1.1011 , is up, line protocol is up

    MAC address e4d3.f1cf.eb7d, MTU 1500

        IP address 10.110.1.1, subnet mask 255.255.255.0

  Traffic Statistics for 

    4539905 packets input, 3299328704 bytes

    3499997 packets output, 1158198422 bytes

    6374 packets dropped

Interface GigabitEthernet0/1.1013  is up, line protocol is up

    MAC address e4d3.f1cf.eb7d, MTU 1500

    IP address 10.110.3.1, subnet mask 255.255.255.0

  Traffic Statistics for :

    134386 packets input, 101134521 bytes

    132145 packets output, 50793453 bytes

    13987 packets dropped

Interface GigabitEthernet0/1.1014 , is up, line protocol is up

    MAC address e4d3.f1cf.eb7d, MTU 1500

    IP address 10.110.4.1, subnet mask 255.255.255.0

  Traffic Statistics for 

    16873366 packets input, 4347409211 bytes

    9294342 packets output, 6108270932 bytes

    5968 packets dropped

When I try to add a new subinterface like

scl2-fwl01/admin(config)# interface GigabitEthernet0/1.1016

                                                                                              ^

ERROR: % Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

scl2-fwl01/admin(config)#

Am I doing this right ? I tried the same using ASDM and was able to specify all the interface vlan values, ip and netmask but when I try to save it , it gives me this in the java console

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException

Maybe some license issue ?

This platform has an ASA 5512 Security Plus license.

Any help will be appreciated.

How many subinterfaces total do you currently have configured? (You cannot exceed 100 on that platform.)

venkat0011 · ‎07-20-2015

About 15

Marvin Rhoads · ‎07-20-2015

So you're well within the platform limit. The license does not affect that limit.

Your config command paste did not convey well. Can you tell us exactly what part of the command the parser is rejecting?

venkat0011 · ‎07-21-2015

Thanks.

the error comes when i type

interface GigabitEthernet0/1.1016

^

ERROR: % Invalid input detected at '^' marker

The ^ points right under the sub interface number

If I try an existing interface it works just fine

scl2-fwl01/admin(config)# interface GigabitEthernet0/1.1015

scl2-fwl01/admin(config-if)#

I wonder If Iam missing some step.

Marvin Rhoads · ‎07-21-2015

It almost looks like a bug though a quick bug search didn't show any as far as I could see.

You aren't running in multiple context mode are you?

What does it tell you if you type (in config mode):

interface GigabitEthernet0/1.?

My ASA gives me

configure mode commands/options:
  <1-4294967295>  GigabitEthernet interface number

venkat0011 · ‎07-21-2015

Yes, it only shows me my existing vlans .Strange

scl2-fwl01/admin(config)# interface GigabitEthernet0/1.?


configure mode commands/options:

  0/1.100     0/1.1001    0/1.101     0/1.1011

  0/1.1013    0/1.1014    0/1.1015    0/1.102

  0/1.103     0/1.120     0/1.166     0/1.666

If you have multiple context mode running, those may have been allocated to your current context from the system context.
