Can you also give me some info on how to access Cisco Switches. I think we have some Cisco 3750.

We just purchased a Cisco ASA 5520. We are replacing our pix 515. How difficult is it to configure it? Is the Web interface to configure or we would have to use the Cisco ASDM to configure it. &nbsp;I remember that we used the consul port to connect to the Pix and use command line interface to configure them initially before using the graphical interface. <br />
How do use the consul port to connect to the ASA. I dont rambler how it was done on the pix. <br />

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

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Hardware Firewalls

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
