Ya, no failover, no multi-context support, and depending on your license a
limited amount of interfaces as well as hosts allowed through it. However,
multi-context and failover shouldn't take you that long to get nailed down
cold with rack rentals. The real meat is firewall concepts of which you can
do 80% with the 5505. Personally, I would practice on 5510's and up or you
know what can happen.

Thx Scott,
I heard the same as far as the model. I haven't really taken a look at any
of the workbooks to see what features I might be missing with the 5005s. I
was hoping some of the vendors could elaborate how limited I would be with
the 5505s.
