Overview
The maximum numbers of vwire subinterfaces which are configurable by the user are as shown below:
- Maximum virtual wire subinterfaces: 4091
- Maximum virtual wires with subinterfaces: 2045
Details
For the PA-5050/5060, the maximum number of virtual wires with subinterfaces and virtual wire subinterfaces are:
- Maximum virtual wires with subinterfaces: 2048
- Maximum virtual wire subinterfaces: 4096
Note: For additional platform specifications, see the Palo Alto Networks Product Comparison page.
The maximum virtual wire subinterfaces value includes 5 pre-allocated interfaces shown below.
Excerpt output from the following command:

------------------- ----- ---- ------------ ------------------- ------ ------------
dedicated-ha1 5 0 ha 0 N/A
dedicated-ha2 6 0 ha 0 N/A
vlan 1 0 N/A 0 N/A
loopback 3 0 N/A 0 N/A
tunnel 4 0 N/A 0 N/A
Subtracting 5 from the max vwire subinterfaces results in 4091, as the user-configurable vwires.
Dividing 4091 by 2 results in 2045, as the max number of user configurable vwires with subinterfaces.
