difference in ASA module, ASA 5510

[nikhil.kulkarni]

Folks,

I am trying to get some comparison good data on the Cisco ASA(5585 probably) module and the Cisco 5510 physical device.

We are looking to create contexts and most of these contexts are dynamic in nature.

What could be the advantages and disadvantages of using one and the other.

I know the ASA 5510 supports virtual contexts but not sure how much are supported by the base license and how much could be added.

Futher the communication between the Switch and the ASA module goes via the backplane and in case of physical device will go over the LAN cable(mostly a 1Gig). Will this be slower?

Regards,

Nikhil.
