ASA and FirePower Load Balancing

[jturner2720]

Hi,

We have a couple of 5555-Xs providing remote access VPN (both Anyconnect and IPsec). We're now being asked about increasing capacity on this so looking at the various options. I know you can load-balance ASAs, including different models where it does a calculation based on capacity. Does this work across FirePower boxes too? (Assuming running the ASA image?)

i.e. can I buy a couple of 2130s and load-balance across all 4?

Thanks.

Hi,

   The feature is in the code and it seems to be confirmed by the Data Sheet. I would still confirm with a Cisco SE for any possible limitations.
