ASA 5505 or 5510?

[Andy White]

Hello,

I will creating a VPN from a remote office on a dedicated 2mb lease line to our HQ.  At the HQ we have a ASA 5520 and I'm wondering what ASA we would need at this remote site?  Ther will be around 10 users or so.  I have only ever worked with the Pix 515's and the ASA 5520's and I'm sure the 5510 is much the same, but the 5505 is very cheap and I wondered if it would do the job and does is also have the same funcationality as the 5510/5520 in terms of configureation (CLI/ASDM?).

Thanks

Certainly. For just 10 users that ASA5505 should be good enough.

You can do CLI and ASDM just like ASA5510.

Pls. read regarding product license:
