PIX 515E
The target market for the PIX 515E is the small business and
low-to medium-end enterprise customers. The PIX 515E can handle 130,000
simultaneous connections. The theoretical limit for throughput on the 515E is
190 Mbps.
The PIX 515E can support multiple hardware interfaces, which
makes the PIX 515E the lowest model Cisco PIX Firewall to support interface
isolation (DMZ functionality). Unlike the smaller firewalls, the PIX 515E
represents an ideal machine for companies that want to use public servers from
the inside of their company network. With this firewall, you no longer have to
worry that if hackers exploit one of your public servers that they might be able
to exploit devices on the inside of your network.
Depending on licensing, the PIX 515E can support up to six
different hardware interfaces. The PIX 515E is also the lowest PIX model that
supports failover, which is a technology that allows a secondary PIX Firewall to
take over operation if your primary firewall fails. The secondary PIX becomes a
fully functional firewall in as little as 1.5 seconds.
