PIX 6.3(4) maximum interface VLAN

[benjamingarcia]

based on Cisco website, a PIX 515e firewall running 6.3 can have maximum 10 interfaces, 6 physical interfaces, & 8 logical interfaces.

Am i corect to say that the maximum 10 interfaces is a combination of physical & logical interfaces?

I thought you can use all the 6 physical interfaces + the 8 logical. I guess I am wrong.

Thanks in advance.

Hello benjamin

PIX 515 E with restricted license can have max 3 physical and 10 logical interfaces

PIX 515 E with UR license can have a max of 6 physical and 25 logical interface (with 7.0) with 6.3 it can have 8 seperate logical interfaces..

So , totally you can have 6 physical and 8 seperate logical interfaces.. nto sure where you have seen the max interfaces as 10, but according to me, we can have 6 physical and 8 seperate logical interfaces on 515 E...

Raj,

Thanks for your response mate.

The firewall have unrestricted license and the show version command (see below) show maximum 10 interfaces only. Currently, I am using 6 Physical interface + 4 logical interfaces and when I tried to add another logical interface the PIX firewall refused to add it. Do I need a new activation key to get all the maximum 8 logical interfaces?

Thanks in advance again.

Benjamin
