Cisco ASA 5500-X Series Chassis Overview
This guide supports the Cisco ASA 5500-X series models, which includes the ASA 5512-X,
ASA 5515-X, ASA 5525-X, ASA 5545-X, and ASA 5555-X.
The Cisco ASA 5500-X series is a family of next-generation mid-range ASAs that are built on the same
security platform as the rest of the ASA family. These next-generation ASAs provide more firewall
throughput (4X firewall throughput), better scaling, more Ethernet ports (up to 14 GE ports), dedicated
IPS acceleration hardware, and redundant power supplies on the 5545-X and 5555-X models. The IPS
is now context-aware, so it can be enabled through software by a virtual machine without requiring
additional hardware, which provides greater deployment flexibility.
