Cisco ASA number of Users

[Jessica Bernardo]

Hi,

May i ask how many user accounts i can create to a Cisco ASA box? Say for example a Cisco ASA 5510 or Cisco ASA 5520?

Thanks.

Regards,

I'm not sure on the limits of the devices themselves. I've personally used well over 50 usernames on a Cisco ASA 5510. If you are using AAA with TACACS or RADIUS, that number is grossly more, as the usernames are not stored on the device itself.

Hi David,

Thanks, But actually, i just want to know how many user accounts i can create with the appliance. The limitation of number of local user accounts i can create.

Copy/pasting from an internal link:

Q. What the configuration limits for users, groups-policies on the ASA?

A. The ASA's AAA Local Database has no hard limits on the numbers of group-polices, and usernames.

So what i infer is that it could be any number upto the free memory permitted on the platform.

Jessica,

I got it from an internal link. So, i am afraid that i don't have anything really to pull out from CCO to share with you.

I will try to check if i can find an external CCO link for it.
