PIX 501 user Question

[jcleary]

Hi,

There is a 10 and 50 user model of the 501. What is a "user" and how does it tell how many there are. I am usng this at a small office with about 5 people and creating a VPN tunnel to a 506 with about 15 people. Will all the people on the other side of the tunnel be users too? and what happens if 11 people try to use it?

Thanks in advance

The user here is an IP address, by 10 user licence they mean 10 IP connections can be made through the PIX. Of course each IP address can each have multiple TCP sessions.
