Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I put this firewall at the balcony?

You'd better keep the Temperature -13 to 158ºF (-25 to 70ºC), and Relative humidity 10 to 90 percent noncondensing.

How do I download software for the Cisco ASA5508-K9 Series security appliances?

The software can be downloaded from the Cisco Download Software page (registered customers only).

What is Cisco ® Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software?

Cisco ASA Software is the core operating system that powers Cisco ASA firewall products. It offers stateful firewalling, VPN capabilities, and clustering capabilities; provides for the scalability of ASA hardware; and integrates with other security solutions like Cisco IPS, Cisco Cloud Web Security, Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE), and Cisco TrustSec ® technology. In addition, it offers next-generation firewall capabilities through the ASA CX software module on ASA5500-X or through a Security Services Processor (SSP) in the ASA 5585-X appliances.

What happens if I enter the wrong license key?

License check happens at runtime. A wrong license key will be rejected and the existing license will remain in effect. A license key change does not affect the network traffic flowing through the ASA appliance. Configuration removal and the formatting of internal flash will not remove the license key.
