VLANs on a PIX

Hello,

Simple question:

If I can create VLANs on a PIX, why would I ever purchase a physical interface expansion card (1-FE or a 4-FE)?

Thanks,

Dave

Because physical interfaces are generaly more secure the logical interfaces.

Mitigate VLAN MAC Table attacks: Limiting one MAC address per switch port is an attack mitigation strategy. Stops CAM tables flooding attacks forcing the switch into repeater mode. Tools like macof can be used for this type of attack.
