We are planning to buy ASA 5585-X SSP-10 so have question related licensing, what comes with base model? we need following feature does base model cover that without any extra license?
I saw following link for license but confused, what is Optional in section?
Every Cisco ASA platform comes with a certain number of implicitly activated features and capacities as a part of the Base License. In other words, these capabilities are fixed in the given software image for the particular hardware; you cannot selectively disable them. One example of such a feature is Active/Active failover, which is always available on all Cisco ASA 5585-X appliances. Some platforms offer the optional Security Plus license, which may unlock additional features or capacities on top of the Base License. For example, you can increase the maximum concurrent firewall connection count on the Cisco ASA 5505 from 10,000 to 25,000 by installing a Security Plus license.
ASA SSP-10 firewall module in single chassis? because we need failover so how does backplane work in that case?
ASA SSP-10 module so total will be two ASA SSP-10 module (same module slot01 and slot1) in that case they will act like independent body or there is backplane which will provide failover if one module die? just trying to understand how chassis react if slot0 (ASA SSP-10 die)?
failover just like we used to do in ASA 5550 firewall.
Optionalis an additional license. Additional fee must be paid. Site-to-site VPN's do not require any additional licensing.
