Hi All,
Take a look at the sh ver below from a PIX515, specifically the max interfaces:
Cisco PIX Firewall Version 6.2(2)
Compiled on Fri 07-Jun-02 17:49 by morlee
(host name removed) up 52 days 4 hours
Hardware: PIX-515, 64 MB RAM, CPU Pentium 200 MHz
Flash i28F640J5 @ 0x300, 16MB
BIOS Flash AT29C257 @ 0xfffd8000, 32KB
0: ethernet0: address is 0050.54ff.ec72, irq 11
1: ethernet1: address is 0050.54ff.ec73, irq 10
2: ethernet2: address is 0002.b324.422d, irq 7
Licensed Features:
Failover: Enabled
VPN-DES: Disabled
VPN-3DES: Disabled
Maximum Interfaces: 6
Cut-through Proxy: Enabled
Guards: Enabled
URL-filtering: Enabled
Inside Hosts: Unlimited
Throughput: Unlimited
IKE peers: Unlimited
Does the maximum interfaces line suggest that the PIX is licensed to use ALL 6? I would say yes as the Inside Hosts line is unlimited. The output from a PIX running 6.3(3) without the appropriate license shows as follows and is clearer on interface restrictions:
Maximum Physical Interfaces: 3
Maximum Interfaces: 5
Just need a double check please troops.
Many Thanks
Ali
