Sam, I haven't logged onto 501 yet. But my guess is it is similar to 506, which I have worked on, and should support same CLI. It supports 3DES as well. It does support 6.x ios I believe. It definitely looks like a good entry level PIX product. I heard that is around $600. I think it is great for learning and implementing in small office.

The product description on Cisco's site do not specify it.I want to learn PIX and 501 is the cheapest but I want to know if the commands I learn and experience i gain will be good enough to setup and administer a higher model of PIX. I have good firewalling experience but none with PIX. thanks sam sneed Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=24982&t=24966 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
