If it does not, configuration synchronization from the unit with the larger Flash memory to the unit with the smaller Flash memory will fail.įor more information, see the Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide.

If using units with different Flash memory sizes in your failover configuration, make sure the unit with the smaller Flash memory has enough space to accommodate the software image files and the configuration files. Note The two units do not have to have the same size Flash memory. In a failover configuration, the two units must have the same hardware configuration They must be the same model, have the same number and types of interfaces, and the same amount of RAM. The default DRAM memory is 256MB and the default internal flash memory is 128MB for the Cisco ASA 5505. They can also be used as regular Ethernet switch ports, just like the ports numbered 0 through 5. Ports 6 and 7 are 15-Watt output PoE ports, used for devices, such as IP phones, which can be powered by the network interface.

This section describes the front and rear panels. ASDM is loaded from the adaptive adaptive security appliance, then used to configure, monitor, and manage the device.
ASDM is a browser-based, Java applet used to configure and monitor the software on the adaptive security appliances. Combining the functionality into just one software image provides significant improvements in the available features.Īdditionally, the adaptive security appliance software supports Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM). Previously, these functions were available in three separate devices, each with its own software and hardware. The adaptive security appliance software combines firewall, VPN concentrator, and intrusion prevention software functionality into one software image. It also provides enhanced support for intelligent information networks through improved network integration, resiliency, and scalability. The Cisco ASA 5505 Adaptive Security Appliance delivers unprecedented levels of defense against threats to the network with deeper web inspection and flow-specific analysis, improved secure connectivity via end-point security posture validation, and voice and video over VPN support.
