All Cisco ASA 5500 Series appliances include maximum IPsec VPN users on the base system; SSL VPN is
licensed and purchased separately. By converging SSL and IPsec VPN services with comprehensive threat
defense technologies, the Cisco ASA 5500 Series provides highly customizable, granular network access tailored
to meet the requirements of diverse deployment environments, while providing advanced endpoint and network-
level security.
Cisco ASA 5505 Adaptive Security Appliance
The Cisco ASA 5505 Adaptive Security Appliance is a next-generation, full-featured security appliance for small
business, branch office, and enterprise teleworker environments. The Cisco ASA 5505 delivers high-performance
firewall, SSL and IPsec VPN, and rich networking services in a modular, "plug-and-play" appliance. Using the
integrated Cisco ASDM, the Cisco ASA 5505 can be rapidly deployed and easily managed, enabling businesses to
minimize operations costs. The Cisco ASA 5505 features a flexible 8-port 10/100 Fast Ethernet switch, whose
ports can be dynamically grouped to create up to three separate VLANs for home, business, and Internet traffic for
improved network segmentation and security. The Cisco ASA 5505 provides two Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports,
enabling simplified deployment of Cisco IP phones with zero-touch secure voice over IP (VoIP) capabilities, and
deployment of external wireless access points for extended network mobility. High-performance intrusion
prevention and worm mitigation service is available with the addition of AIP SSC. Multiple USB ports can be used
to enable additional services and capabilities in the future.
As business needs grow, customers can install a Security Plus upgrade license, enabling the Cisco ASA 5505 to
scale to support a higher connection capacity and up to 25 IPsec VPN users, add full DMZ support, and integrate
into switched network environments through VLAN trunking support. Furthermore, this upgrade license maximizes
business continuity by enabling support for redundant ISP connections and stateless Active/Standby high-
availability services.
Businesses can also extend the Cisco ASA 5505’s VPN service by enabling SSL VPN remote access to support
various mobile workers and business partners. Cisco Secure Remote-Access Solution deployments can scale up
to 25 SSL VPN concurrent users on each Cisco ASA 5505 by installing an SSL VPN upgrade license.
This combination of market-leading security and VPN services, advanced networking features, flexible remote
management capabilities, and future extensibility makes the Cisco ASA 5505 an excellent choice for businesses
requiring a best-in-class small business, branch office, or enterprise teleworker security solution.
