Hello<br />
<br />
Could you please explain what the difference between a restricted and unrestricted PIX 515 E ?<br />
Also, I wonder if I'm doing the right thing, but I'll set up a dedicated windows os web server connected to a 2mbit SDSL line (with 2mbit upload / download) and I need to put a firewall between the modem and the server. I was thinking of a PIX 515 E DMZ Bundle, but I'm not sure if it's an overkill. I just want stateful inspection, IDS / IPS etc. and I also need a DMZ port just in case I need to connect internal clients to the internet using the server.. Please advise.

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.

Software Firewalls

Cisco PIX is a dedicated hardware firewall appliance; the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) is a firewall and anti-malware security appliance that provides unified threat management and protection the PIX does not. Other Cisco devices and systems include routers, switches, storage networking, wireless and the software and hardware for PIX Firewall Manager (PFM), PIX Device Manager (PDM) and Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM).
