ASA 5506 dont have switch ports

[sfarazaz123]

HI all members,

Can any one direct me to the cisco page where i can find clear information about the ASA 5506 switch/routed ports information.

What i know is, All models of ASA 5506 have just routed ports and you cant use these ports as switch even if they have WLAN support. for example Cisco ASA 5506-X med WLAN with FirePOWER

Thanks in advance

Rule of Thumb: If the data-sheet does not mention that there are switchports, then the device has routed ports. And this is the situation for the 5506-X. Unless you operate the ASA in transparent mode (where not all features are available), you need to have an external switch for the systems you want to attach.
