backwards-compatible with multiple platform releases, so the specific ASDM release in which support
was added is not listed.

Increased VLANs 7.0(5) Increased the following limits:
•ASA5510 Base license VLANs from 0 to 10.
•ASA5510 Security Plus license VLANs from 10 to 25.
•ASA5520 VLANs from 25 to 100.
•ASA5540 VLANs from 100 to 200.
Increased VLANs 7.2(2) The maximum number of VLANs for the Security Plus
license on the ASA 5505 ASA 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 ASA
(from 10 to 50 for the Base license, and from 25 to 100 for
the Security Plus license), the ASA 5520 ASA (from 100 to
150), the ASA 5550 ASA (from 200 to 250).
Gigabit Ethernet Support for the ASA 5510
Security Plus License
7.2(3) The ASA 5510 ASA now supports GE (Gigabit Ethernet)
for port 0 and 1 with the Security Plus license. If you
upgrade the license from Base to Security Plus, the capacity
of the external Ethernet0/0 and Ethernet0/1 ports increases
from the original FE (Fast Ethernet) (100 Mbps) to GE
(1000 Mbps). The interface names will remain Ethernet 0/0
and Ethernet 0/1.
Native VLAN support for the ASA 5505 7.2(4)/8.0(4) You can now include the native VLAN in an ASA 5505
trunk port.
