Default Using VLANs with ASL home edition
Is the 3 Ethernet restriction in the free ASL home user license based solely on a 3 physical Ethernet card limit?

I have a 3Com SuperStack 3300 switch which is VLAN capable, so I am thinking of converting my third Ethernet interface, which I am currently using for my DMZ net, into a VLAN interface. Are there any restrictions in the home user license on how many VLANs that I can then have?

I think it is based on interfaces - it doesn't care about physical or virtual or whatever.

Default Re: Using VLANs with ASL home edition
I finally got around to trying it, and you are correct.

It will allow me to activate one VLAN on the Ethernet card that I had been using for my DMZ network, but it would not allow me to turn on a second VLAN, which would then have become my fourth logical interface.

So, there is no getting arround the three interface limit on the ASL home license by using VLANs on one of the Ethernet cards.

Oh well, I wanted to put my WiFi access point on a seperate circuit from my DMZ, but I guess they'll just have to share for now.
