Hi,
Is this FWSM in Single context or multiple as in Multiple context , maximum license would be for 250.

Hi Thanks again for the help, the Module hasn't arrived yet but i'm told its a base module and to be increased to 1000 interfaces

Hi,
I would say to check the license and the mode first.
I think the license would show up as 256 in Single context(Maximum) and when you change it to multi mode , it would be 1000(maximum).
Thanks and Regards,

Hi
Thanks for the link it does indeed help, but which license do i buy to enable 1000 interfaces
06-03-2015 09:12 AM
Hi,
Would it be possible for you to upgrade the FWSM module to the latest code. I think 256 Interface on Single Context should become 1000 in multi context.
