We are making some progress on this however not completed yet. We had to
assign multiple contexts to the firewall as expected, then assign a set of
vlans on the outside interfaces (50,51) and then another set of vlans on the
inside interfaces (100,101). The ASA would not let me assign the same vlan
to the inside and outside interfaces. It appears VLAN tags are stripped in
bound to the outside interface of the ASA and then reapplied (with a
different tag) on the inside interface. Switches on each side are trunked
accordingly. I have one side of the topology, ie one asa with multiple
context working, still working on the second device.

 If anyone has a working configuration for this setup, can you please post
to this forum?

TIA

Mike
