Oh yeah, 2 Power over Eth ports too! Theres probably more pros I'm forgetting because the list just goes on and on Cons: I honestly can't think of any. Overall Review: This device has the potential to take over the world at a very small price.
The ASA offers a lot of security for a moderate price. Cisco equipment is designed for professionals and as such Cisco assumes a lot and is anything but consumer friendly. This is not a useful operating philosophy for small to medium business looking for IT security. If you're not an IT pro you may be forced to hire a pro to install this appliance properly.
Cisco support will cost you as much as the unit. Cons: It's amazing Cisco insists on being so difficult to work with as they are always looking to charge for support and licenses, etc. It is NOT Mbps speed contrary to the misleading product overview. So it's possible these are really old units if this is true. Pros: I've always liked Cisco, and this device does work for the most part for my intended purpose of linking a remote site via VPN to our primary corporate site.
For a purchase made in November , mine came with ASA version 8. The included CD has 8. All that info is here on Cisco. In my opinion, it should have come with 9. I understand if Cisco cannot put that CD in the box, because it is possible Newegg stocked prior to that date, but Cisco should allow buyers to download the latest software within the first 90 days of purchasing the device.
I've scoured the Cisco website, and they clearly state that a valid support contract is required. Which brings me to my second beef No support other than "Community" support via the forums is supported. My particular ASA has an issue with not properly recognizing the local-host count.
I have 4 physical hosts with 4 unique MAC IDs behind the ASA, but when you do a "sh local-host" it says there are 10 at some times, other times I check it says there are 7 or 8. I scoured the web and upgrading to a new ASA version should remedy this, but since that is not an option for me, I'm stuck with a heavy paper weight. I have a at the primary site and a at the disaster recovery site. The and do not exhibit any of these issues. So I would advise staying away from the It wont be a problem for most users, but I wish you had the option for atleast a 1G on the outside interface.
Hotter then most other ciscos I've messed around with. Im kind of worried about hot humid days, but well see. What ever is loaded on there is what you get unless you pay through the roof. Overall Review: All in all its a great unit. This thing has the capability to do so much if you wanna put 2 grand into it. I like that it comes stripped down so someone like myself can pick it up for home use and still get it at a reasonable price. Very powerful for the price. Cons: Warning!!
Overall Review: This is an advanced networking device that is not easy to use for novice buyers. It is not a linksys or net gear. Add to cart. Price Alert. Add To Wish List. Best Sellers.
