Cisco FPR1150-ASA-K9 Firepower 1150 1U ASA Image Firewall

FPR1150-ASA-K9 adds a different optical port mix

The 1150 combines eight Gigabit copper data ports with two SFP and two SFP+ interfaces. This differs from the four-SFP layout of the 1120 and 1140. Confirm the supported optics and required link speeds in the hardware guide before assigning connections; a transceiver is a separate selection.

Plan the ASA security-context requirement

Cisco identifies this exact order as an ASA software appliance, with optional security-context licensing. The ASA table lists two contexts included and a maximum of 25 for the 1150. The maximum is a platform/licensing limit, not a statement that all 25 entitlements accompany this hardware order.

Keep three throughput figures in their proper tests

Published ASA measurements are 7.5 Gbps of stateful inspection with ideal 1500-byte UDP traffic, 4.5 Gbps for Cisco's multiprotocol profile, and 1.7 Gbps of IPsec using a 450-byte UDP site-to-site test. None should be presented as a universal workload guarantee.

Include the SSD notice in receiving checks

The hardware guide lists the 1U platform and its storage arrangement. Cisco FN74250 calls for eligibility checks on certain SSDs used in affected appliances, including the 1150. Record the offered unit and SSD identifiers, check the notice instructions and request any applicable remediation evidence before acceptance. Do not infer completed remediation from the product model alone.
