Hello,

I believe it means SVI's or in this case, sub interfaces with a vlan tag on them. I know this bit for sure however my knowledge of ASA's is very limited, I think you can also create VLANs - in similar fashion.

Virtual interfaces are what you are calling SVI's. For example, you would have interface vlan1,  interface vlan2, etc. While you are still at it, name you interfaces using nameif command 

interface vlan1

nameif outside

ip address x.x.x.x x.x.x.x

interface vlan 2

nameif inside

ip address x.x.x.x x.x.x.x

Optionally, you can configure security levels for the interfaces.  By default, the outside interface is assigned security level of 0 while the inside interface is assigned security level of 100.
