A Cisco ASA can have sub-interfaces defined on an interface, vlan tags through that physical interface which are considered by the software as a separate logical interface.
This page includes information on the maximum number of sub-interfaces that can be defined; what I'm interested in confirming whether this limit is a global limit including every defined vlan on any interface, or a per-interface limit.
The page linked seems to imply that it's global, but the configuration "feels" more like a per-interface limit:
interface GigabitEthernet0/2.28
vlan 28
nameif foo
security-level 5
ip address 10.2.3.1 255.255.255.0
My hunch is that it's global, but my Google-fu is failing to find anything to back that up (and we'll need to get working on getting a new firewall budgeted if I'm right; proof is good before going to the bean counters). Can anyone confirm?
