ASAv50 Hardware Deployment Question

jewfcb001 — Thu, 03 Aug 2023 08:01:26 GMT

Hi will deploy ASAv50 to virtual machine but I confuse about HW resource of ASAv50 .
I see the document mention can deploy range number of memory Ex. ASAv50 can deploy 16 GB to 31.9 GB support Anyconnect
10K Sessions.

My question is If I deploy memory 20GB how many Anyconnect session can i get ?

Hello,

the table is indeed confusing. It makes it look like 16GB are sufficient to support 10,000 connections, but 31.9GB also do not give you more than 10,000...which, logically thinking, makes no sense. In my experience, these are lower and upper limits, which in your case means that 20GB should in any case be sufficient to support 10,000 connections...

The limits are per the platform. As long as you have the platform correctly provisioned ("show vm") and licensed, it will support up to the specified limit as listed in the data sheet: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/security/adaptive-security-virtual-appliance-asav/adapt-security-virtual-appliance-ds.html

@Marvin Rhoads
Thank you for answer . But I see range of memory which picture above . what is the exact the result of adjust memory ? Anyconnect seesions or Concurrent ? Because from Picture I don't see the difference value.
