Hello everyone,
I work for a Cisco partner, we are proposing an ASA appliance with embedded AIP module. Client wants to monitor around 12-15 interfaces for intrusion prevention. We have proposed ASA5585-S10P10-K9. This has 16 Gig interfaces. The goal is to use these interfaces to monitor traffic from different segments, such as DMZ, distribution layer etc. Can anyone confirm, if this is possible? and what's the maximum number of sensors (application monitoring interfaces) does ASA support?
We want to utilize this product instead of IPS 4270 because of the cost issue. IPS box is costing around 110k, where as, ASA appliance with every feature required is costing around 55k.
I will highly appreciate if someone can answer these queries for me.
Regards,
Hassib Faridi.
