Can a Cisco ASA 5510 (ASA5510-SEC-BUN-K9) failover to a 5505 (ASA5505-SEC-BUN-K9)?<br />
<br />
I know there are 25 vs 250 VPNs...which is fine. &nbsp;I have the 5510 already, and I am looking to purchase another firewall. &nbsp;I don't have the $$ for another 5510, but I can get the 5505. &nbsp;As for the performance differences, that is fine. &nbsp;Basically I am wanting to ensure failover for non-VPN related business (e-mail, FTP, etc...). <br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

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 virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.

Network design and methodology, also known as network architecture, is the design of a communication network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in its operation. In telecommunication, the specification of a network architecture may also include a detailed description of products and services delivered via a communications network, as well as detailed rate and billing structures under which services are compensated.
