Please notify PIX or ASA

Hello

Could I have your opinion on which is best as a Firewall/VPN device. The network, I'm looking to deploy the device has a Web server and a mail server with Outlook Web access that require access to the outside. There are a few servers that need remote access also, so I thought I'd use 3DES IPSec VPN tunnels for users to access the LAN.

I used and configured the before PIX 515 firewall on the network using Cisco VPN Client software to access LAN remotely, so I am to some extent familiar with this technology. But I'm not familiar with the ASA devices though and hoping for an opinion on which is the most profitable, straight forward and easier to deploy?

Thank you very much

Mark

Mark,

I highly recommend that you integrate the new product ASA against the PIX, as you may already aware that PIX platforms have reached end of life. If you were in a scenario where you were using PIX515 and are looking for additional has this PIX 6.3.5 code does not, it would be possible to switch the code to 7.x-8.x on 515 for example to take advantage of much reacher features in code 7.x and higher. But it seems that this is not the case, if you are looking to implement a new security ASA5500 serial b.b.q look.

If you are familiar with PIX you'll be fine, of course, there are new features to learn and a completely new architecture, but the basic concept of the firewall and traffic control remains the same. All your requirements such as VPN L2L, VPN can be realized in addition to other features that you would never see in the code 6.3.5.

The most important point is to integrate a new platform, not the one that has reached the end of life, it is my personal opinion.
