ASA 5506-X Literature

[Darren Roback]

Does anyone have any technical information or presentations on the new ASA 5506 firewalls? Also, has a launch date been set?

Thanks

Darren

Not at the moment AFAIK

9.3.2 ASA code supported the mib for the new ASA (ASA 5506-X, ASA 5506W-X, and ASA 5508-X) but no launch date yet

Thanks

Great news Thomas,

just a remark. The bundle ASA5506-SEC-BUN-K9, as described on CCW, comprises also Firepower Services but there's no mention of any subscription. The only difference with the ASA5506-K9  is

ASA5506-SEC-PL

ASA 5506-X Sec. Plus Lic. w/ HA, Sec Ctxt, more VLAN + Conns

Please mark my answer if you're satisfied with the support.

Thank you.

For those of us not a part of the “Partner Community”, will
the information be readily available elsewhere? 

[Nilo Noguera]

We don't have an exact timeline on when would this be made available for public documents in the Cisco.com site. If you are interested with the Cisco ASA 5506-X and 5508-X appliance, please reach out to any Cisco Distribution partners after the February 12, 2015 announcement to find out more information. The Cisco ASA Data Sheet would be updated soon after the announcement.
