About the ASA 5506-X
The Cisco ASA 5506-X adaptive security appliance is part of the ASA 5500-X of next-generation mid-range
ASAs and is built on the same security platform as the rest of the ASA family.
This next-generation ASA 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.
This ASA is a smaller form-factor chassis, intended primarily for desktop or wall-mounting, although one
or two can be mounted in a single rack shelf. The ASA has a standard 1 RU chassis. See
