Ordering Information
Cisco Secure ACS 5.1 is offered as three different options:
●
Hardware appliance, the Cisco 1121 Access Control System
●
Software appliance, available for installing as a virtual machine into VMware ESX
●
Software upgrade for existing Cisco 1120 Access Control System appliances.
All versions of Cisco Secure ACS 5.1 run the same software image and support the same features. For system
specifications, please view the Cisco Secure ACS 5.1 data sheet at

.
Licensing Options
The appliance and VMware versions each include a Base license. The Base license is required for each Cisco
Secure ACS 5.1 appliance or software instance in a network.
With the Base license, Cisco Secure ACS 5.1 appliances or software virtual machines can support deployments of
up to 500 network devices (authentication, authorization, and accounting [AAA] clients). The number of unique IP
addresses configured determines the 500 network devices. This is not a limit for each individual appliance or
instance, but a deploymentwide limit that applies to a set of ACS instances (primary and secondary) that are
configured for replication.
The optional Large Deployment add-on license allows a deployment to support more than 500 network devices. Only
one Large Deployment license is required per deployment as it is shared by all instances.
Please see the
Cisco Secure ACS 5.1 Deployment Guide
for guidelines on deployment planning and sizing.
