Restricted Interfaces on a Pix 501

Anyone heard of a restricted license on the switch interfaces of a 501? I have a customer that can only access 2 of the 4 switch ports? As far as I know, the 501 only comes with user based licenses. Any ideas?

Physical interfaces are "inside" and "outside" make two. The four switch port are on inside and are counted as one. If your customer really can just access two of four switch port interface, them replace the PIX.

There is definitly no restriction on that.

Maximum Physical Interfaces: 2

Maximum Interfaces: 2

Thanks Patrick. I'm checking with him to see whether he has tried using all 4 switched ports or whether he was just going on what the licensing said. Thanks again for the reply.

Hey Joe...if this is for K Blue at WJCS, I already talked to him today and cleared this up. He was just confused and was trying to add a DMZ interface on a 501. When you talk to him, tell him Scott with Cisco says hi.

Thanks,

Scott

Hey Scott,

That was for K Blue. He told me yesterday that you were there.
