Hi all,

Is ASA 5500 series the same as a PIX 515 or 525 or 535 with version 7.0 ... i still see some places where it confuses between PIX version 7.0 and ASA 5500 series... If not, what are the advantages of ASA 5500 over PIX version 7.0 ???

ASA is not the same as PIX, ASA is different hardware architecture. Although both can run the same code. One of the advantage of ASA is that you can have an IPS module in it to perform the intrusion prevention.
