Could you share some light on that for me? Also, I´d be grateful if you could share any tips as how to "deal" with the 10 inside hosts limit.... Thanks! Steffen Hi Rich,

In my opinion CISCO firewalls will surpass any other firewall soon.

Some question although arised when reading what Cisco offers in that bundle... - I need to access my home network via VPN, in this license, is this possible to do so or do I need to buy some extra VPN license? The literature says there are 2 VPN licenses present in this bundle for "Evaluating and remote control", what do they mean with that? Are there restrictions to use the VPN in the BUN-K9 license? - ISP/IDP is not present in the ASA5505, is it possible to add it later? Thanks! Tom Hi,

Also, I do believe the limit of 10 ip was either eliminated or was mis-interpretted as I have a 5505 running in a branch office with at least 50+ ip addresses and no problems...maybe you were referring to the 10 Site-To-Site VPN Tunnel limitation? or maybe this is a change with the 8.0 code....

This device needs a few gigabit switchports. I want my lan traffic to pass through this but I do not want my speeds to be cut down to 100mb. I would do the 5510 which has two gig ports but the price difference from 5505 to 5510 is overwhelming. Cisco does a great job of forcing you into the position to uprgade. I concur.

Say for example host 192.168.1.1 on the inside cannot access 172.16.1.2 on the DMZ: MyASA# packet-tracer input inside tcp 192.168.1.1 1025 172.16.1.2 80 This will give you a list of output telling you where the communication is failing, assuming it isnt a random bug :) Cheers, Hi Michael,

When the device locks up Inside and DMZ Cannot access the internet. You can ping outside devices from the CLI on the internet. Something in the Firewall portions is causing this to lock. Any Idea's or suggestions. I have 4 Cisco Ap’s that are static set for IPv4 in the DMZ and the DHCP Scope is outside the range of those Ap’s that are in the DMZ.

I am finding that the unit locks up after about 2 days uptime. It remains visible locally so I can do an immediate system reload but there is no internet access, the tunnels gop down & the remote VPN users are unable to connect. After the system reload the unit is fine again until the next time. The license is for unlimited inside users 10 VPN Peers & 2 SSL VPN Peers ASA version 8.0(3) The two IPSec Tunnels are connected to Sonic Walls at the other sites. Has anyone any idea as to what may be causing the problems or has anyone experienced anything similar." Got the same promlem. I have static Public IP. If I reload unit via ASDM it works for few minutes and freezes again. But after power off/on it works for few days. Device is ASA Version 7.2(4). Any ideas?
