Cisco ASA 5500 comparison table? open original image

Is there a table somewhere that succinctly shows the differences between:



- Firewall Edition - IPS Edition - Anti-X Edition - VPN Edition



TIA,


-Ramon F Herrera



What is the main difference among the Editions? Is it hardware, software or configuration?

Hi Ramon,

You may wish to investigate Cisco's Migration Guide from Cisco PIX 500 to Cisco ASA 5500 Series:

as well as the Refurished Cisco PIX Firewall Guide:

Main difference is the hardware, there is no difference in the software that I am aware of. The different platforms have different throughput, VPN throughput, bigger hardware.

There are some hardware differences between the 5505 and other models; and if I recall properly, the 5510 is missing one slot that the higher models have. But the main difference between the above are the software license keys.
