[c-nsp] ASA 5510's to Redundant Switches?

[Kaj Niemi]

Hi,


The ASA does not support STP. If you run recent enough software you  
may be able to use redundant interface pairs (assuming you are looking  
for redundancy). Alternatively get more interfaces and split your  
vlans on multiple trunks to the ASA or upgrade license on your 5510 to  
Security Plus for Gigabit Ethernet.
