PIX 515E unrestricted bundle (chassis, unrestricted software, 2 10/100 Ports, 64 MB RAM, VAC or VAC+)
The Cisco PIX 515E Security Appliance is a reliable, easy-to-maintain platform that provides a wide variety of methods for configuring, monitoring, and troubleshooting. Management solutions range from centralized, policy-based management tools to integrated, Web-based management to support for remote monitoring protocols such as Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and syslog.
Administrators can easily manage large numbers of remote Cisco PIX Security Appliances using CiscoWorks VPN/Security Management Solution (VMS). This suite consists of numerous modules including Management Center for Firewalls, Auto Update Server Software and Security Monitor. This powerful combination provides a highly scalable, next-generation, three-tier management solution that includes the following features:
* Comprehensive configuration and software image management
* Device hierarchy with "Smart Rules"-based configuration inheritance
* Customizable administrative roles and access privileges
* Comprehensive enterprise change management and auditing
* "Touchless" software image management for remote Cisco PIX Security Appliances
* Support for dynamically addressed appliances
Additional integrated event management and inventory solutions are also available as part of the CiscoWorks VMS network management suite.
The integrated Cisco PIX Device Manager provides an intuitive, Web-based management interface for remotely configuring, monitoring, and troubleshooting a Cisco PIX 515E Security Appliance—without requiring any software (other than a standard Web browser) to be installed on an administrator's computer. A setup wizard is provided for easy installation into any network environment.
Alternatively, through methods including Telnet and Secure Shell (SSH), or out of band through a console port, administrators can remotely configure, monitor, and troubleshoot Cisco PIX Security Appliances using a command-line interface (CLI).
