Adaptive Security Appliance

The Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance 5500 Security Appliance series scales to meet a range of requirements and network sizes . The ASA 5500 Security Appliance family currently consists of the following three models:

  • The ASA 5510 Security Appliance has integrated 10/100BASE-T ports.
  • The ASA 5520 Security Appliance supports a single management 10/100 Fast Ethernet port and four Gigabit Ethernet ports.
  • The ASA 5540 Security Appliance supports a single management 10/100 Fast Ethernet port and four Gigabit Ethernet ports.

The ASA Security Appliance models also support WebVPN and an optional IPS-Security Services Module (SSM).

NOTE:

The available features and commands used to configure the PIX Security Appliance and the Adaptive Security Appliance are the same. The only exception is the VPN over SSL, or WebVPN, feature set. This feature is only available for the Adaptive Security Appliance, and not the PIX Security Appliance, for Software Version 7.0.
