Product Overview

The Cisco ASA 5505 Adaptive Security Appliance delivers unprecedented levels of defense against threats to the network with deeper web inspection and flow-specific analysis, improved secure connectivity via end-point security posture validation, and voice and video over VPN support. It also provides enhanced support for intelligent information networks through improved network integration, resiliency, and scalability.

The adaptive security appliance software combines firewall, VPN concentrator, and intrusion prevention software functionality into one software image. Previously, these functions were available in three separate devices, each with its own software and hardware. Combining the functionality into just one software image provides significant improvements in the available features.

Additionally, the adaptive security appliance software supports Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM). ASDM is a browser-based, Java applet used to configure and monitor the software on the adaptive security appliances. ASDM is loaded from the adaptive adaptive security appliance, then used to configure, monitor, and manage the device.

This section describes the front and rear panels. Figure 1-1shows the front panel LEDs.
