Point of clarification.....Actually the entire PIX line is not end of support....... yet.
PIX 501, 506E, & 515E last day of support (as long as you have an active Smartnet subscription) is July 27, 2013. PIX 506 & 515 (both without the E designation) were no longer supported as of early/mid 2009. I know this because I had all of these in my environment (except the 515E) until this past summer. Now my environment is pure ASA 5510/5520. Much better appliance, IMHO. Jonathan L. Raper, MCSE Thumb-typed from my HTC Incredible (and yes, it really is) Droid.

To: "NT System Admin Issues" <ntsysadmin@lyris.sunbelt-software.com> Ixnay on any sort of PIX, they were end of sale years ago and hit end of support last summer. The current-day replacement is the ASA. The equivalent to the PIX 501 is the ASA 5505. Like it or not, IPv6 is a feature any sort of network infrastructure equipment MUST have; it is also another thing that puts a nail in the coffin of any PIX less than a 515 (IPv6 was added in 7.0 code which is only supported on the 515 and up). An ASA 5505 can do dual WAN, but with one caveat: you need the Security Plus license on it. An ASA 5505 with Security Plus is $1k-ish. Other options: Cisco IOS security routers, model #s 1811 or 891. They are both $800-ish new. The 891 replaces the 1811, which will be end of sale in April/May.
