Hi,

We had ASA-5520 VPN Plus and want to order Cisco ASA  firewall for a new site. But I am confused with ASA next generation and ASA next generation with FirePOWER models i.e. ASA5525-K9, ASA5525-IPS-K9 and ASA5525-FPWR-K9 

S.N

Please explain me the followings,

  • I can see Lots of subscriptions with FirePower i.e. IPS, APPS,URL,AMP etc. I need to subscribe separately then what comes with ASA5525-FPWR-K9 ?

In simple words, the 3 SKU's you have are:

1) Just the ASA

2) ASA with traditional Cisco IPS services integrated

3) ASA with next-gen Firepower services integrated

The traditional IPS solution is EOL, so if you want IPS services along with the ASA firewall, your option is to get Firepower along with the ASA.

You get the AVC feature set along with then Firepower service, but you need to license IPS, URL, AMP separately.

Thanks Rahul,

So, what is difference between traditional ASA and ASA with Firepower if i do not get license i.e.  IPS, URL, AMP.
