Description

Cisco FPR2140-ASA-K9 overview

The Cisco FPR2140-ASA-K9 is a Firepower 2140 ASA appliance in a 1RU chassis with one network module bay. It is designed for businesses, network integrators and data-centre operators that need a high-capacity Cisco ASA firewall for Internet-edge or data-centre deployments.

The appliance provides 20 Gbps stateful inspection firewall throughput, 10 Gbps multiprotocol throughput, three million concurrent connections and 75,000 new connections per second. Stateful inspection tracks active network connections when applying firewall policies.

The Firepower 2100 family uses a dual multicore CPU architecture to handle firewall, cryptographic and threat-inspection functions simultaneously. The series consists of four threat-focused platforms and supports Network Equipment Building Standards requirements.

The listed product condition is brand new and sealed, and the catalog record lists it as in stock.

Specifications

The FPR2140-ASA-K9 combines ASA firewall capabilities, fixed copper and SFP+ interfaces, an expansion bay, VPN capacity and redundant power options in a rack-mountable chassis.

Applications and intended users

This Cisco ASA next generation firewall platform is suited to deployments that require high connection capacity, rack-based installation and a combination of copper and 10 Gigabit interfaces.

• Internet-edge firewall deployments requiring up to 20 Gbps stateful inspection throughput.
• Data-centre environments using up to three million concurrent connections and 75,000 new connections per second.
• VPN deployments requiring 2 Gbps IPsec throughput, up to 10,000 VPN peers or VPN load balancing.
• Segmented environments using up to 1,024 VLANs, multiple security contexts and active/active or active/standby high availability.
• UAE businesses and integrators requiring centralized or local management options for the Firepower 2140 ASA platform.

Interface layout

The twelve copper ports are identified as Ethernet 1/1 through 1/12, while the four fixed SFP+ ports are identified as interfaces 1/13 through 1/16. The dedicated management interface separates appliance administration from the primary data interfaces.

Comparison with FPR2120-ASA-K9

The FPR2140-ASA-K9 provides 20 Gbps stateful and 10 Gbps multiprotocol throughput, compared with 6 Gbps and 3 Gbps for the FPR2120-ASA-K9. It also supports three million concurrent connections and 75,000 new connections per second, compared with 1.5 million and 28,000; both use the same 1RU dimensions.
