5506 \24 limitation

garry cordess — Fri, 21 Feb 2020 15:37:15 GMT

Hi,

Has anyone found a \24 limitation on the ASA5506?

E.g. is a \23 network supported?

This has been flagged by a customer.

Regards,

Garry.

Can you post "the error message" that underlines this limitation maybE?

ASA software, whether on the ASA 5506 or elsewhere, accepts all valid subnet masks.

Hi Marvin,

That is the general consensus and matches my research and also of our internal security expert.

I will go back to the customer and try to explain that their problem is not a Cisco issue.

Thanks,

Garry.

Thanks Florin for taking time to respond. I am sure that this is not a Cisco restriction. I will tell the customer that and hopefully this will go away 🙂

Thanks,

Garry.
