Envision those four ports as being a single port representing the inside interface. So you only have (2) interfaces avaiable (the inside and the outside). thanks, -Brad Ellis CCIE#5796 (R&S / Security) Network Learning Inc [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.optsys.net (Cisco hardware) ""Jablonski, Michael"" wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > I'm trying to configure ethernet 2-4 on a PIX 501 (3DES), but it comes back > saying only 2 interfaces are active.
