ASA 5505 licensed limit for SSH sesions

Level 1

I have the default license for a ASA 5505 and this last Friday I received the attached log for SSH sessions through this firewall; we want to be clear about this issue. This limitation has to be with the 10 Inside Host or the Total VPN Peers limitations in this license? This firewall exists only to agree with a PCI requirement between our router and a communication with a Payment Card Industry Brand, all of this in the same site.

ASA5505 <164>Sep 09 2011 10:42:08: %ASA-4-450001: Deny traffic for protocol 6 src DMZ:X.X.X.X/2479 dst DMZ1:X.X.X.X/22, licensed host limit of 10 exceeded.

I hope that the communications through 22 TCP port, are not countable for license propose.

Licensed features for this platform:

Maximum Physical Interfaces  : 8

VLANs                        : 3, DMZ Restricted

Inside Hosts                 : 10

Failover                     : Disabled

VPN-DES                      : Enabled

We will appreciate any comments!

Rgds!

You are correct that this error is related to the license restriction for inside hosts.

While SSH does encrypt the data it sends, and that sounds perhaps a bit like VPN, SSH does not count as VPN in terms of the licensing on the ASA.
