nameif command not working?????

[ixleplix]

Here is my problem/scenario: I'm trying to set up a new
DMZ on my PIX 515 running 6.3(1) and I have a 4 port expansion card in the PIX. I allready have one DMZ running. It is
interface ethernet2 auto
nameif ethernet2 DMZ security50
ip address DMZ X.X.X.1 255.255.255.0
global (DMZ) 1 x.x.x.200-x.x.x.250
global (DMZ) 1 x.x.x.199
nat (DMZ) 1 x.x.x.0 255.255.255.0 0 0

So anyway, that one is working fine.
Now, when trying to configure ethernet3, after entering configuration mode

When I type int e3 auto the command is accepted
When I type nameif e3 SO sec75 I get the response
Usage: nameif <hardware_id> <if_name> <security_lvl>
nameif <vlan_id> <if_name> <security_lvl>
no nameif
The same thing happens no matter how carefully I spell the commands and whether or not they're abbreviated.......

Also, when I type show interface it lists e0, e1, and e2 but nothing after.....

Hopefully this is something simple that I'm overlooking and not a hardware issue.

Please Help!
Thank you;

Could this be a licensing issue? I know that the PIX has restricted and unrestricted licenses. The restricted license restricts the number of interfaces you can configure. What kind of license do you have?

Well, I hadn't thought to check the ability of the license to handle more than 3 interfaces, but once you mentioned it I ran show version and this is what I got.

Failover: Disabled
VPN-DES: Enabled
VPN-3DES-AES: Enabled
Maximum Interfaces: 3
Cut-through Proxy: Enabled
Guards: Enabled
URL-filtering: Enabled
Inside Hosts: Unlimited
Throughput: Unlimited
IKE peers: Unlimited

This PIX has a Restricted (R) license.

So thank you for pointing me in the right direction and %$^&!!@#$ *!!@#$$$#@!!!! to the sales rep who sold us the 4-port card without telling us that it would require aditional licensing to use more than one of the ports.
Thanks again,

Thats gonna be a pricey one, you need an unrestricted license for that.

Yeah, it's expensive enough that we are now looking at &quot;other options&quot;---Like implementing Vlans, and using more Acl's on the routers etc---....... Oh well, job security
