Cisco ASA 5506-X 8-Port Firewall

The Cisco ASA5506-K8 is a desktop or rack-mountable security appliance that delivers firewall, application control, URL filtering, malware protection and intrusion prevention for small offices and branch sites. It includes FirePOWER services, eight Gigabit Ethernet data ports and a dedicated management port, all powered by an internal AC supply.

Suits small teams needing integrated threat defence

Organisations that require a compact, manageable platform with site-to-site and remote-access VPN plus granular application visibility for over 3,000 applications will fit this unit. Buyers who need Power over Ethernet for access points or phones, or who require wireless LAN capability, should look at a different model.

Eight Gigabit Ethernet ports define connectivity

The appliance provides exactly eight 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 ports for data and one additional management port, with no PoE support. This fixed port count determines how many wired segments or uplinks can be connected directly without adding an external switch.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the ASA5506-K8 with 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports or a model with fewer ports?

The ASA5506-K8 provides 8 Gigabit Ethernet data ports plus one management port, so you can connect multiple wired segments directly without an extra switch.

What does the 3,000 application figure mean for daily traffic inspection?

Granular application visibility and control recognises over 3,000 applications, letting you allow, block or throttle specific apps such as social media or file sharing in real time.

How does the 10/100/1000Base-T standard limit throughput on each port?

Each RJ-45 port negotiates at 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps, so maximum wire-speed per port is 1 Gbps and aggregate throughput depends on your traffic mix and enabled security services.
