Cisco FPR1120-ASA-K9 Firepower 1120 1U ASA Image SMB Firewall

FPR1120-ASA-K9 identifies the ASA software order

Cisco distinguishes this appliance from the FPR1120-NGFW-K9 Threat Defense order. The ASA ordering row specifies a 1U device running ASA software with optional security-context licensing. Confirm the installed image and entitlement with the quotation instead of assuming that an ASA order includes Threat Defense subscriptions.

Use the ASA traffic profile when comparing capacity

For the 1120, Cisco publishes 4.5 Gbps of stateful inspection throughput using 1500-byte UDP under ideal conditions, and 2.5 Gbps for its multiprotocol profile. These are different tests, not interchangeable promises for a production workload. Keep the traffic mix and enabled features attached to any sizing comparison.

Plan the physical links and the actual unit checks

Eight Gigabit Ethernet copper interfaces and four SFP interfaces provide the data-port layout; the management connection is separate. Cisco notice FN70544 describes incorrect rear labels on some 1120/1140 units shipped in a specified period. Check the actual unit using the notice instructions rather than relying on rear-panel printing alone.

Review storage eligibility before acceptance

FN74250 identifies certain SSDs in affected Firepower models as having an elevated failure risk. Review the offered unit and SSD against Cisco eligibility instructions and record any remediation evidence. The model appearing in a notice does not establish that every unit is affected or that the seller has completed a replacement.
