Frequently Asked Questions

Cisco Secure Firewall 1220 Compact Security Appliance with ASA Software (CSF1220CX-ASA-K9)
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)



What throughput does the CSF1220CX deliver?
  • It supports 9 Gbps firewall and IPS throughput, 10 Gbps IPsec VPN, and 1.5 Gbps TLS decryption — ideal for high‑performance branch protection.
  • How many concurrent sessions and VPN peers are supported?
  • The appliance handles up to 300,000 concurrent sessions, 250,000 new sessions/sec, and supports up to 300 VPN peers.
  • What interfaces are available?
  • There are 8 × 1 GbE RJ‑45 ports plus 2 × 10 Gb SFP+ ports. USB 3.0 and a Console/Management port are also included for admin access.
  • Which software version does it run?
  • Uses Cisco ASA software version 9.22+, offering command‑line and ASDM management, legacy VPN support, AnyConnect compatibility, and clustering failover functionality.
  • How compact and power-efficient is it?
  • At around 3 lb with approximately 40 W power consumption, it supports desk, rack, or wall mounting with minimal footprint.
  • Does it decrypt HTTPS or TLS traffic?
  • Yes — hardware-accelerated TLS decryption up to 1.5 Gbps, enabling inline inspection of encrypted traffic.
  • Can I upgrade it to Threat Defense (FTD)?
  • Yes, the 1200 Series supports switching between ASA and FTD software, though you would need to license and migrate configurations accordingly.
  • Suitable deployment environments?
  • Perfect for branch offices, secure points of presence, retail or education sites—even where space or power is limited but throughput demands remain high.
  • How does Cisco ASA compare to FTD?
  • ASA remains stable, familiar, and lightweight. FTD adds unified threat management, but ASA continues to be favored for performance-critical VPN/firewall use.
  • How are policies managed?
  • Use CLI, ASDM, or integrate with Cisco FMC/Firepower Management Center. Supports identity‑based rules via TrustSec or LDAP.
  • Does it support multi‑tenant or VRF?
  • Yes, supports up to 10 virtual router instances for logical segmentation.
  • Is PoE supported?
  • No PoE output on this model — PoE is only available on CSF1210CP variant.
  • Is there built‑in malware or IPS support?
  • ASA includes basic IPS via ACE module, plus integration with Cisco security services for malware or additional protection.
  • Can I deploy dynamic routing?
  • Yes — supports OSPF, EIGRP, static routing, and both routed or transparent modes.
  • Does it support redundancy?
  • Supports active/standby failover and VPN cluster modes — consistent with ASA architecture.
  • Is encryption accelerated?
  • Yes, hardware-assisted encryption for IPsec (Suite-B), accelerating throughput and reducing CPU load.
  • What storage is onboard?
  • 480 GB non-upgradable M.2 NVMe storage for logs, configurations and forensic capture.
  • Can the Cisco 1220CX be mounted in a rack or cabinet?
  • Yes. While it’s primarily a compact desktop unit, it includes mounting options for wall or shelf installations. Rack-mount kits are available separately.
  • What licensing is required to use VPN or advanced security features?
  • Cisco Smart Licensing is required. VPN, IPS, and other features may require additional licenses depending on deployment size and security scope.
  • Is Cisco AnyConnect supported for remote access VPN?
  • Yes. The 1220CX supports Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for SSL and IPsec remote access VPN connections.
