FPR-3100 ACL Elements

[Mtrain]

What is the recommended ACL elements count for each of the FPR-3100 series firewalls?

What exactly do you mean?  ASA or FTD?

Hi! Looking at ASA. We plan to migrate from a 2130, and I know the recommended ACL elements for that model is 300,000; however, I don't see anything for the 3100's.

Thanks!

@Mtrain I don't have the maximum supported ACE for ASA on 3100 series hardware but there is information for the FTD image, suffice to say the 3100 series hardware supports more ACE than the 2100 series. I would expect similar numbers for ASA image.

This is great!! Thanks!

Why ASA and not FTD?  There is little to no reason to choose ASA over FTD now.

That's definitely coming down the line and part of our future implementation. We're a limited government entity, so you can imagine how that is...Thanks!
