  Starting Interface Configuration (ASA 5510 and Higher)
Step 4 For each in-use interface that you want to add to a redundant or EtherChannel interface, cut and paste 
all commands under the interface command to the end of the interface configuration section for use in 
creating your new logical interfaces. The only exceptions are the following commands, which should 
stay with the physical interface configuration:
• media-type
• speed
• duplex
• flowcontrol
Note You can only add physical interfaces to an EtherChannel or redundant interface; you cannot have 
VLANs configured for the physical interfaces.
Be sure to match the above values for all interfaces in a given EtherChannel or redundant 
interface. Note that the duplex setting for an EtherChannel interface must be Full or Auto.
For example, you have the following interface configuration. The bolded commands are the ones we 
want to use with three new EtherChannel interfaces, and that you should cut and paste to the end of the 
interface section.
