Hi , I wanted to know the difference between the New PIX 501 and the PIX 506 , The specifications for 501 are given at : http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/cc/pd/fw/sqfw500/prodlit/px501_ds.htm and also at : http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/cc/pd/fw/sqfw500/ but what is the ideal scenario to use 501 and 506 and what is the approximate cost difference between them . Do let me know if anyone has implemented the new 501 . I am also preparing for the Security Specialization track , will the new 501 provide me with all the requiremtns for required for the test . thanking you , -- Navin Parwal MCSE ,CIW , CCNP, CCDP Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=20367&t=20367 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
