Datasheet

As business needs grow, customers can install a Security Plus upgrade license, enabling the Cisco ASA 5505 to

scale to support a higher connection capacity and up to 25 IPsec VPN users, add full DMZ support, and integrate

into switched network environments through VLAN trunking support. Furthermore, this upgrade license maximizes

business continuity by enabling support for redundant ISP connections and stateless Active/Standby high-

availability services.

Businesses can also extend the Cisco ASA 5505 firewall’s VPN service by enabling Cisco AnyConnect client and

clientless VPN remote access to support various mobile workers and business partners. Cisco Secure Remote

Access Solution deployments can scale to serve up to 25 AnyConnect and/or clientless VPN concurrent users on

each Cisco ASA 5505 by installing an Essential or a Premium AnyConnect VPN license.

This combination of market-leading security and VPN services, advanced networking features, flexible remote

management capabilities, and future extensibility makes the Cisco ASA 5505 an excellent choice for businesses

requiring a best-in-class small business, branch, or enterprise teleworker security solution.

Cisco ASA 5510

The Cisco ASA 5510 delivers advanced security and networking services in an easy-to-deploy, cost-effective

firewall. These services can be easily managed and monitored by the integrated Cisco ASDM application, thus

reducing the overall deployment and operations costs associated with providing this high level of security. The

Cisco ASA 5510 provides high-performance firewall and VPN services and five integrated 10/100 Fast Ethernet

interfaces. It optionally provides high-performance intrusion prevention and worm mitigation services through the

Advanced Inspection and Prevention Security Services Module (AIP SSM), or comprehensive malware protection

services through the Content Security and Control Security Services Module (CSC SSM). This unique combination

of services on a single platform makes the Cisco ASA 5510 an excellent choice for businesses requiring a cost-

effective, extensible, DMZ-enabled security solution.

As business needs grow, customers can install a Security Plus license, upgrading two of the Cisco ASA 5510

interfaces to Gigabit Ethernet and enabling integration into switched network environments through VLAN support.

This upgrade license maximizes business continuity by enabling Active/Active and Active/Standby high-availability

services. Using the optional security context capabilities of the Cisco ASA 5510, businesses can deploy up to five

virtual firewalls within a physical appliance to enable compartmentalized control of security policies on a

departmental level. This virtualization strengthens security and reduces overall management and support costs

while consolidating multiple security devices into a single appliance.

Businesses can extend their SSL and IPsec VPN capacity to support a larger number of mobile workers, remote

sites, and business partners. Up to 250 AnyConnect and/or clientless VPN peers can be supported on each Cisco

ASA 5510 by installing an Essential or a Premium AnyConnect VPN license; up to 250 IPsec VPN peers are

supported on the base platform.

VPN capacity and resiliency can also be increased by taking advantage of the Cisco ASA 5510 firewall’s

integrated VPN clustering and load-balancing capabilities (available with a Security Plus license). The Cisco ASA

5510 supports up to 10 firewalls in a cluster, offering a maximum of 2500 AnyConnect and/or clientless VPN peers

or 2500 IPsec VPN peers per cluster. For business continuity and event planning, the Cisco ASA 5510 can also

benefit from Cisco VPN Flex licenses, which enable administrators to react to or plan for short-term “bursts” of

concurrent Premium VPN remote-access users for up to two months.
