Does the outside interface of an ASA5510 have to be Ethernet0/0?
The reason for asking is I have two ASA5510s'. One production and one to use as needed. I want to swap the DMZ interface (Ethernet0/2), which is only capable of 100Mbps, with my outside interface (Ethernet0/0) which is capable of 1 gig throughput. This will give my .net server in the DMZ more bandwidth to the internal data base server.
I backed up the config from my original ASA and restored it to my new ASA, changed the interface configs on Ethernet0/0 and Ethernet0/2 and reapplied my access groups to the appropriate interfaces. I could reach the DMZ from my PC inside the network but not the outside world. I could ping the outside world from my ASA but not from my PC inside the network. I reverted back to the original config and everything worked.
