What is the major difference between 5540 and 5585 in terms of configs. Can I copy paste configuration from 5540 to 5585? And what is difference between 5585 and 5585-x and how does this impact on the OS you select

Hi Keyur,

In terms of config, there are no major diferences  between one and the other one because either one allows you to run the  same code. In other words you could have an ASA 5540 or an ASA 5585  running OS ASA 8.2 for example and their configuration would be the  same. You could copy the configuration from one device to another one,  you would just need to make sure that you have the same or higher number  of interfaces available.

The major differences between the different ASA models  are hardware capabilities (number and type of ports, modules available,  etc) and performance and license capabilities (throughput, number of  concurrent connections, number of VPN/SSL connections,etc) but in terms  of configuration per-se the configuration would pretty much the same,  limited to what the hardware allows you to do (for example the small  ASAs dont allow you have several VLANs or ASA Contexts).

Here is a model comparison for ASA 5500 series:

I hope this helps.
