I've gone through the notes, and there are 2 1/4 items that surprised me, which others may find important in forming any upgrade plans:

1) Support for IPSEC AH is completely gone. There is no information as to why, and in particular there is no "in this release" phrase.;

2) There is no support for PPTP "in this release". (There is support for webvpn though.)

1/4) PPPoE is not supported in this release. This only rates 1/4 as PPPoE is really for the 501 and 506/506E, neither of which are supported in this release.

Some additional documents have appeared since that previous message:

Cisco PIX 515E Security Appliance Quick Start Guide, Version 7.0

Cisco PIX Security Appliance Hardware Installation Guide, Version 7.0 Cisco Security Appliance CLI Configuration Guide, Version 7.0

Interesting to note the phrasing change to mention "Security Appliance".

The 7.0 binary still isn't up right yet, but I imagine it will be a matter of days at most.

7.0 Memory Upgrades

UPGRADE PATHS

To run Cisco PIX Security Appliance Software Version 7.0 or later on Cisco PIX 515 and 515E Security Appliances with a restricted platform license and 32 MB of memory, devices must be upgraded to a total of 64 MB memory.

Devices with an unrestricted or failover license and 64 MB of memory must be upgraded to a total of 128 MB of memory.

Cisco PIX 515 and 515E Security Appliances that are already operating at these higher memory levels do not need a memory upgrade.

Sincerely,

Brad Reese
