ASA5512-SSD120-K9 - Cisco ASA5512-X Firewall with 120GB SSD

Identify the SSD120 Firewall Edition order

The original Cisco ordering table associates ASA5512-SSD120-K9 with an ASA 5512-X appliance, firewall services and a 120GB solid-state drive. It is an ASA 5500-X ordering line, rather than a Firepower 1000 appliance. Match the full PID on the supplied chassis and order record; the marketing family name alone cannot distinguish a bare chassis from the SSD order.

Count data and management interfaces separately

The exact row specifies six copper Gigabit Ethernet data interfaces and one separate copper Gigabit management interface. It also specifies a single AC power supply. An optional expansion capability does not prove that a card or extra interfaces are included. Verify the delivered inventory, AC cable and rack accessories against the itemized quotation.

Separate encryption from inspection subscriptions

K9 is the 3DES/AES encryption variant in this precise order table; the separately listed K8 alternative specifies DES. A 120GB SSD is supplied in the original order, but drive capacity does not establish current AVC, WSE, IPS, FirePOWER or signature-update rights. Request the installed software image and its applicable license record before evaluating inspection functionality.

Use historical VPN figures as license context

Cisco lists 250 IPsec VPN peers and two SSL VPN peers for this original order. Those historical figures are not a guarantee of real application throughput or transferable software rights. Additional remote-access coverage and Security Plus functionality need their own evidence. A chassis capability table must not be treated as proof that optional entitlements accompany this unit.

Apply the retirement notice to its stated scope

EOL10154 expressly lists ASA5512-SSD120-K9 among the affected ASA CX and Prime Security Manager orders. Its end-of-sale date was August 17, 2015. The notice lists August 31, 2018 as the last application-software support date and August 31, 2020 for the affected hardware, subject to the stated contract conditions. These are the milestones for the named notice and ordering scope; do not reuse another ASA generation or service bulletin as proof of current coverage.

Inspect storage and software before approving a replacement

Confirm the SSD inventory and health, exact chassis identity, interface assignments and configuration compatibility. Compare the offered license and serial records with the intended deployment. Any seller warranty is separate from manufacturer support. The official image is an ASA family illustration and does not show the condition or installed drive of the unit being quoted.
