ASA5505 WEB FILTERING

[vipinrajrc]

Hi Experts,

i am going to implement a ASA5505 in one of my offices. I would like to use web filtering feature on it.

Will it cause any performance degradation in ASA? will it utilized more memory?

Thanks

Hi,

Web filtering with Websense or blocking certain sites using MPF? In either case, only an excesive amount of traffic will cause the CPU to go high. It is really hard to calculate the amount of CPU or memory that this process may take, but I am assuming only high amount of traffic could cause a degration on the performance on the ASA.
