Use Gigabit Interface as Inside interface with security of 100

[bcalabrese]

I've got a PIX 525 with two Gigabit interfaces and I'm trying to make one the Inside interface with security 100, "nameif gb-ethernet0 Inside security100" is the command that should work. I get this message:

Aspirin(config)# nameif gb-ethernet0 Inside security100

security 100 is reserved for the "inside" interface

Usage: nameif <hardware_id> <if_name> <security_lvl>

no nameif

Aspirin(config)#

What is the deal? Can this be done? How do you do it?

Please try to use lower case “I” when name the interface so it should read “inside”.

It is case sensitive

Thanks,
