| CISCO ASA 5505 | CISCO ASA 5510 |
The two smallest ASA Firewall models, the 5505 and the 5510, are the only ones that have two types of licenses. They can be ordered either with a Base License or a Security Plus License. Many customers of mine are always asking me what the difference is between the two licenses (except from the price of course), so I thought it would be useful to summarize below the differences between the two license types:
|
