Hi Khawar,
I suppose the IOS (12.2T) is for routers? To save money, I'll go with the
2600/3600 series as you suggested.
Then a PIX or an ASA depending on the prices.
Under the official guideline for software versions,
Software Versions
- Cisco IOS Software Version 12.2T Enterprise/IPSec/FW/IDS feature set is
used on all routers
- Cisco PIX Security Appliance OS Software Version 7.x
- *Cisco Intrusion Detection System Release 5.x*
- *Cisco VPN Client Software for Windows, Release 4.8.x*
- *VPN 3000 Series Concentrator OS, Release 4.7.x*
- Cisco ASA 5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliances OS Software Version
7.x
- *Cisco Catalyst 3550 Series Switches run Cisco IOS Software Release
12.2SEE*
- Cisco Secure ACS for Windows version 4.x
For *Cisco Intrusion Detection System Release 5.x*, do I need Cisco IPS
Series 4200 intrusion prevention system sensors?
For *VPN 3000 Series Concentrator OS, Release 4.7.x*, do I need Cisco VPN
3000 Series Concentrators?
and
for *Cisco Catalyst 3550 Series Switches run Cisco IOS Software Release
12.2SEE*, do I need Cisco Catalyst 3550 Series Switches? This one uses
12.2SEE, is this similar or completely different from 12.2T for the
routers?
CISCO is also ending sales on 3550 series switches, according to
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps646/index.html.
Thanks Khawar,
Chris
