I just upgraded a FWSM from 3.2.5 to 4.0.4 and noticed before the upgrade the context license showed 20 before the upgrade but after upgrading to 4.0.4 it know shows 2. &nbsp;I followed the upgrade procedure I found from the Cisco website where I copied the image file from tftp to flash, then reloaded the module. &nbsp;Upon coming back up it now shows the 4.0.4 image but only 2 context licenses. &nbsp;Did I loose the additional license(s)? &nbsp;Is this normal?<br />

Thanks in advance.<br />

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.

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).

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.
