Questions about max. Users ASA

[Andy Doe]

Hi,

I have a ASA 5005 here which supports up to 10 Users. What does this exactly
mean? Is this a count of internal IP addresses?
If so, can I extend the possible internal clients through PAT? Lets say I
put an internal router behind the FW which does PAT for the
internal clients behind the router (the FW should only see one IP then,
right?)

Just a thought...what do you think?

BR...Andy

If ASA works just like the old 501 PIX, then limit is applied to the nat
translations.
So you only can get 10 user nat translated at a time.
If you setup a router behind, it should work fine.

If you had, say, a network printer that had no need to access the internet,
presumably removing its default gateway setting would ensure it didn't count
toward the total?

Never tried but it should work.
