I have purchased the ASA5512-K9 with the CX AVC and Web Security Essentials L-ASA5512-AW1Y as recommended by a Cisco pre-sales representative and my reseller for my environment. I had previously believed from the documentation on the Cisco site that all X generation models had the CX software included on them in the state that they are sold. Now in trying to configure the ASA5512, and with further reading of the setup documentation, I have discovered that I do not have the capability to access the CX functionality with this model 'as is', and this combination does not appear to be appropriate. It appears that the CX software module is not actually included on the ASA5512-K9 model, but rather only on the ASA5512-SSD120-K9 model. Could someone please verify for me that I have understood this correctly?
If it is, then please advise if I should exchange the ASA5512-K9 for an ASA5512-SSD120-K9 to get the combination of this subscription license and ASA model working. Am I correct in that the ASA5512-K9 model does not have a solid state drive on it already and so I can not download and install the CX software on it? As an alternative, is it possible to purchase a Cisco solid state drive seperately, plug it into the ASA5512-K9, download the CX software, and then install it on this new drive in the ASA5512-K9?
I would greatly appreciate guidance from anyone who has experience with the ASA5512 line and CX. I was unable to find help from Cisco pre-sales and technical support for this question via phone or online chat, and my reseller has been unable to answer this question for me so far.
