Is ASA Firewall required any subscription or licence?

[Srinivas N]

Hi Friends,

I am quite new to firewall, in my company one asa 5510 firewall is there.

I configured inside, outside, dns, dhcp and nating..........

I need to config bandwidth limit (1Mbps) for inside port and I restruct like facebook, youtube and pornsites........

Plz help me on those..........

And I heard that some subscription is required, really is it required?

If it is required what is the way? and how to apply, for this one shall i need to pay anythin ... and only subscription is required only for asa or all brands like fiz junifar and fortgate...........           

Thanks & Regards,
Srinivas. N.

You do not need a subscription to use the ASA. But for Business-use, you should have at least a SmartNet-contract for Software-updates and service.

For your configuration-needs, you find many infos in the config-guide and the config-examples:
