Detailed Steps
Command Purpose
Step 1
(Optional)
firewall transparent
Example:
hostname(config)# firewall transparent
Enables transparent firewall mode. This command clears your
configuration.
Step 2
Do one of the following to configure a management interface, depending on your mode:
Routed mode:
interface vlan number
ip address ip_address [mask]
nameif name
security-level level
Example:
hostname(config)# interface vlan 1
hostname(config-if)# ip address
192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
hostname(config-if)# nameif inside
hostname(config-if)# security-level 100
Configures an interface in routed mode. The security-level is a
number between 1 and 100, where 100 is the most secure.
Transparent mode:
interface bvi number
ip address ip_address [mask]
interface vlan number
bridge-group bvi_number
nameif name
security-level level
Example:
hostname(config)# interface bvi 1
hostname(config-if)# ip address
192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
hostname(config)# interface vlan 1
hostname(config-if)# bridge-group 1
hostname(config-if)# nameif inside
hostname(config-if)# security-level 100
Configures a bridge virtual interface and assigns a management
VLAN to the bridge group. The security-level is a number
between 1 and 100, where 100 is the most secure.
Step 3
(For directly-connected management hosts)
dhcpd address ip_address-ip_address
interface_name
dhcpd enable interface_name
Example:
hostname(config)# dhcpd address
192.168.1.2-192.168.1.254 inside
hostname(config)# dhcpd enable inside
Enables DHCP for the management host on the management
interface network. Make sure you do not include the management
address in the range.
