I was doing a little looking around to see what lab hardware would be useful for studying. Now, a fully featured ASA or IPS is pretty expensive so naturally we dont want to spend more than what we need to.
Now, I havent seen the IPExpert study material yet (I'll buy it once I know I can set it up!) but I cant see any reason why we couldnt use an ASA 5505 for lab study. After all, its really just a small ASA. As for IPS... Would an SA520 do the trick? Its much cheaper than an IPS, but I really dont know much about the product so Im interested to hear from others who have more familiarity with it. If something else would suit, then I'd like to hear it.
