pix 501

in CCNA Security
Ive been wanting to explore the security route and I see pix 501 fairly cheap for $20. Is there any value of playing around with one in comparison to a asa 5505.

    Yea ASA 5505 will be around 400 bucks (or 350 the cheapest I've found) The ASA is the current technology. PIX EoL/EoS

    PIX will provide a good starting point but its being phased out (in both production and certifications) by the ASA's.

    For 20 bucks though can you go wrong?

    PIX 515 is probably a better "toy" to play with for not much more, since you can try the later 8.0.4 version of the software and 501 only supports 6.x ?
