Hi, I want to buy a Cisco ASA 5506-X or 5508-X for my home lab. The only thing is I have a 500/500Mbps internet connection. The 5506-X does not seem to have enough power to handle that much bandwidth under certain load. So that's why I am looking for...

Thank you for sharing. The only thing is; a file transer is not a valid test at all. If you re-try a file transfer it is cached and it looks like you get full speed, while in fact it doesn't. The best test is to use something like IPERF on the source...

I have exactly the same issue and are wondering about the performance. I have a 500/500Mbps glass fiber internet connection, connected through 1GbE; I get around 530/530Mbps on a speedtest. I want to buy an ASA 5506-X. I'm not planning to use the Fir...

If you did not save the running-config to the startup-config you can safely power-off the switch and reboot is. It will then load your previous configuration from the startup-config. NOTE: Keep in mind that any changes mades after your first save to ...
