https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/firepower-subscription/m-p/3785252#M991674 <P>My question is related to the Firepower subscription. I am wanted to add this to my lab for testing. I am leaning more towards the 5506-X</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>1. When you have the FTD image do you get any trial base subscriptions? Maybe for 30 days?</P><P>2. Is AVC the same thing as App control?</P><P>3. Would it be better to buy the ASA and the subscriptions or just use rack rentals? I thought buying the equipment since I can modify and control the topology. Anybody used this in their lab or have any suggestions?</P><P>Thanks for any reply&nbsp;</P> Tue, 12 Mar 2019 14:14:35 GMT CiscoIPMAN 2019-03-12T14:14:35Z https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/firepower-subscription/m-p/3785252#M991674 <P>My question is related to the Firepower subscription.
