ASA5512x - Same Network on two interfaces

[cedric.monchy]

Hello,

My provider ask me to setup the Port Number 2 on same network that my Port Number 1 on ASA 5512x.

On ASA 5505, we can attribute several interface in one VLAN.

Is it possible on ASA 5512x ?

Thanks

Hi

Looks like you can use TRANSPARENT MODE WITH BRIDGE GROUPS

I believe that we need more information about the environment here and what the provider is trying to accomplish. Perhaps transparent mode might provide a solution. Or perhaps configuring a port channel, assigning both interfaces to the port channel, and putting and address on the port channel (or on a vlan in the port channel) might provide a solution.

The one thing that is clear is that the 5512 does not provide a built in switch like the 5505 does. So it is not possible to just configure two interfaces in the same vlan.
