How do I set my ASA 5510 for 1Gb
Hi All,
I'm trying to figure out why my ASA only reports being capable of 100Mb on e0/0 and e0/1. I have read that if the device it is plugged into (in my case, a Dell PowerConnect 2748) is 1Gb capable, it will run at that speed, but am finding this to be untrue (at least in my case anyway). The PC2748 is a Gig switch (all ports are gig by default), but am still not seeing 1Gb within the ASA (sho int).
--------------------------
ASA# sho int e0/1
Interface Ethernet0/1 "INSIDE", is up, line protocol is up
Hardware is i82546GB rev03, BW 100 Mbps, DLY 100 usec
Auto-Duplex(Full-duplex), Auto-Speed(100 Mbps)
--------------------------
I've tried to manually set the speed but to no avail (config t | if e0/1 | speed 1000). When I try this, I get an error stating that 1000 is not an option (options are 10/100/Auto).
Am I missing something?

And also.... Just an FYI...
You will need to purchase a security plus license(if you havent already) to get gigabit speed on the asa-5510 for ports e0/0 and e0/1.

HI,
Yes, the int I'm connecting to is on the 2748 and all ports are gig (I double checked the specific int settings in the gui). Also, I do have the sec plus license:

Ah, okay... craigbeck's link may explain what is going on...
I ran into this myself. Gigabit was introduced in 7.3(2). But it was left out of 8.0(2).
I cannot speak for 8.0(3) - but I know it works as stated in 8.0(4).
That is with a Security Plus licence you can configure "speed 1000" on e0/0 and e0/1 (it will autodetect it as well).
I am currently running 8.0(2) - that figures. I'll upgrade to 8.2 this weekend and see if that changes anything. I'll split points between craigbeck and erniebeek because you're both saying the same thing (although un-verified to be correct as of yet).
Thanks all!
