This is something I had been prototyping without any real enthusiasm. There's 3 ways to control the ASA1000v: 1. By logging in via the CLI. Strongly against this. 2. By using VNMC 3. Via Cisco's Network Services Manager (NSM)[1] The NSM is comprehensive, covers a large range of physical and virtual devices and has an easy northbound API. This would be my preferred solution. However as of now (NSM v5.0.2), the ASA1000v is not supported. It may also be the case that using VNMC may be a cheaper (albeit less supported) option [1] http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps11636/index.html On 1/17/13 9:26 PM, "Koushik Das" <koushik....@citrix.com> wrote: >Manan, >Can you answer the questions that Chiradeep has raised? > >Chiradeep, >I saw that you have started working on asa/vnmc here >(https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator-cloudstack/repo?p=incub >ator-cloudstack.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/cisco-vnmc-api-integration). >I would like to understand the functionalities that you are planning to >cover and what is the overlap between your work and the feature that >Manan has proposed (supporting asa1000v as an external firewall). > >Thanks, >Koushik > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Alex Huang [mailto:alex.hu...@citrix.com] >> Sent: Sunday, January 06, 2013 2:18 AM >> To: cloudstack-dev@incubator.apache.org >> Subject: RE: [DISCUSS] Integrate Cisco ASA 1000v into CloudStack >> >> Manan, >> >> Can you address the issues that Chiradeep has brought up?
