About the ASA 5506-X, ASA 5506W-X, and ASA 5506H-X
The Cisco ASA 5506-X, ASA 5506W-X, and ASA 5506H-X adaptive security appliances are part of the ASA
5500-X of next-generation mid-range ASAs and are built on the same security platform as the rest of the ASA
family.
Your ASA 5506-X ships with either ASA or Firepower Threat Defense software preinstalled. To reimage
your device, see Reimage the Cisco ASA or Firepower Threat Defense Device.
Note
This next-generation ASA delivers unprecedented levels of defense against threats to the network with deeper
web inspection and flow-specific analysis, improved secure connectivity via end-point security posture
validation, and voice and video over VPN support. It also provides enhanced support for intelligent information
networks through improved network integration, resiliency, and scalability.
This ASA is a smaller form-factor chassis, intended primarily for desktop or wall-mounting, although one or
two can be mounted in a single rack shelf. The ASA has a standard 1 RU chassis. See Cisco ASA 5500-X
Series Next-Generation Firewalls to compare the performance metrics and capabilities of the 5500-X ASAs.
