How many users does a ASA5505-BUN-K9 support

[tdennehy]

I know it is a stupid question.

I say the answer is ten.  That means ten hosts can be behind the firewall and hit the internet.  The eleventh doesn't get to go out.

I'm being told by a coworker that the "10" in the part number refers to the number of IPsec VPN peers.

Who's right?

I say if you want an unlimited number of users on the inside to be able to get to the internet, you need the ASA5505-SEC-BUN-K9

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Below is a table of the licenses of ASA 5505 from Ciscos site.

It would seem the Part you are referring to is the one with 10 users

The Unlimited one seems to be the ASA5505-UL-BUN-K9 but without the extra features of ASA5505-SEC-BUN-K9
