  • 1.  Max SubInterfaces on SSG Platform

    Posted 07-18-2009 15:20

    Good day all,

     

    I was hoping someone would be able to help me confirm something.

     

    I currently have an SSG5 that I have connected to a trunked Cisco switch.  I have created several subinterfaces on the SSG5 and everything appears to be working wonderfully.  I understand that the box-stock SSG5 only permits 10 VLAN's, however I want to make sure that my implimentation is capable of scaling.  Should I get an enhanced license for the SSG5 (which permits 50VLan I beleive), or upgrade to different SSG model, will I be able to add more then 11 subinterfaces to a physical interface?

     

    In the process of adding subinterfaces to 0/1, I noticed the SSG5 would only allow me to use 0-11 as a subinterface identifier.

     

    Please advise.

     

    Thanks in advnace.

    Thanks WL, that helped a lot.  It looks like for the SSG platform, for the most part you can assign the maximum number of vlans to a single interface.

     

    I'm new to the Juniper platform (typically Cisco, but I'm converting).  When it said I could only use values 0-10, I wanted to make sure there was not some software limitation at play.

     

    Thanks again!
