Cisco asa 5505 upgrade path 8.2 to 9.1 ram
I’m guessing the ASA will be able to hold a lot more entries in the NAT table, but I don’t really push my ASAs to their limits anyway.

There aren’t any ground breaking advantages to upgrading to 1GB as far as I know. Intrigued by this, and due to needing the extra RAM for the 8.3 code, I decided to upgrade both my ASAs to 1GB as well! When I originally performed this upgrade, I found that on various forums many people had actually upgraded past the official supported amount of RAM, and upgraded their ASA 5505s to 1GB RAM. This is also the maximum officially supported amount of RAM.īuying official Cisco RAM is, as always, quite expensive, but since the ASA 5505 uses standard DDR RAM, it is actually possible to use third-party RAM in the ASA 5505.
#CISCO ASA 5505 UPGRADE PATH 8.2 TO 9.1 RAM CODE#
Starting from ASA 8.3, the minimum required RAM needed to run 8.3 code and newer on a 5505 is 512MB. Pretty much straight away, I wanted to upgrade to the ASA 8.3 code, which required a RAM upgrade, so I upgraded it. I was pretty lucky, as I paid under £70 for each because the seller wasn’t too sure what they were! Looking on eBay now, they are selling for around £120! ? I have two Cisco ASA 5505s in my home lab which I acquired almost two years ago from eBay.
