Virtual ASA 5510

[David Shearing]

Hi,

We have a pair of ASA 5510's which we cant quite get to work properly when they go live.  The problem is that we cant work out whats wrong with them until they are put into the production enviroment.

Is there any software we can use to virtualise the ASA and its config, and then test on a virtual network?  I know theres software for the routers used for the CCNA.  Is there anything availiable for the ASA's that can do a similar thing?

Thanks for the help.

You can emulate an ASA with Dynamips but it can be a bit of a challenge to get it to work correctly.

Another alternative is to rent an on-line rack for a few hours. This can be done quite cheaply from several reputable vendors.
