Increased Connections and VLANs 7.0(5) Increased the following limits:
•ASA5510 Base license connections from 32000 to
5000; VLANs from 0 to 10.
•ASA5510 Security Plus license connections from
64000 to 130000; VLANs from 10 to 25.
•ASA5520 connections from 130000 to 280000; VLANs
from 25 to 100.
•ASA5540 connections from 280000 to 400000; VLANs
from 100 to 200.
SSL VPN Licenses 7.1(1) SSL VPN licenses were introduced.
Increased SSL VPN Licenses 7.2(1) A 5000-user SSL VPN license was introduced for the ASA
5550 and above.
Increased interfaces for the Base license on the
ASA 5510
7.2(2) For the Base license on the ASA 5510, the maximum
number of interfaces was increased from 3 plus a
management interface to unlimited interfaces.
Increased VLANs 7.2(2) The maximum number of VLANs for the Security Plus
license on the ASA 5505 was increased from 5 (3 fully
functional; 1 failover; one restricted to a backup interface)
to 20 fully functional interfaces. In addition, the number of
trunk ports was increased from 1 to 8. Now there are 20
fully functional interfaces, you do not need to use the
backup interface command to cripple a backup ISP
interface; you can use a fully-functional interface for it. The
backup interface command is still useful for an Easy VPN
configuration.
VLAN limits were also increased for the ASA 5510 (from
10 to 50 for the Base license, and from 25 to 100 for the
Security Plus license), the ASA 5520 (from 100 to 150), the
ASA 5550 (from 200 to 250).
