Firepower ASA5512-FPWR-K9 basic URL filtering

Hi,

i am trying to understand Firepower licensing but still don't understand it very well.

I would like to have ASA5512 with basic URL filtering (without reputation functions etc.). I just need to create whitelist or blacklist and that's it.

When i am reading this article http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/firesight/541/firepower-module-user-guide/asa-firepower-module-user-guide-v541/Licensing.html so under URL paragraph there i:

Tip: Without a URL Filtering license, you can specify individual URLs or groups of URLs to allow or block. This gives you granular, custom control over web traffic, but does not allow you to use URL category and reputation data to filter network traffic.

So what does it means? When i buy ASA5512-FPWR-K9 so there should be Protection license included right? And regarding paragraph about URL, ASA should be able to make some basic URL filtering without buying annual URL filtering license.

 Am I correct?

Thank you for help,

Jan

Hi,

yes, when you buy ASA 5512-X it comes with basic protection license and with which you can 

do application control but if you want to go for url filtering then a separate license is required.

thanks,

Ankita

Not sure. I posted same question in "Firewalling" section and i got this answer(it is possible).
