Hi Tim
Maybe I struck lucky but the PIX 506 I bought 2-3 weeks ago came with 2
10/100 interfaces. According to the supplier this is now what is coming in
from manufacturing.
As yet although in V6 there was supposed to be no difference on simultaneous
sessions, the traffic generators I use still cause the PIX to stop working
at 50K sessions. We now its the pIX from the console messages generated
about license limits being exceeded. That's with 6.0(1) on a 515 with 3
interfaces.
