Any suggestion on alternative products? I have a 2801 and 2611 on hand.

VPN using Cisco client software. Do I need a Radius Server?

Any ideas?

Have you heard any reasons for the back order? I have one ASA5510 ordered since first week of March and it's still backordered. My supplier Ingram Micro says they still haven't been able to deliver any ASA products for orders dating back to January! I can't even reach my direct small biz rep as her email account doesn't seem valid anymore! I heard there was long delays for Aironet products too. Don't know what's happening with Cisco.

Asa back ordered till mid Q2, three major vendors.

Anyone with an Asa 5510 that you want to dump Ill buy.

If not I'm going to build it on a 2801.

Thanks guys...

Thanks for your help

The ASAs are backordered because Cisco's chip supplier in china is out of business or something along those lines. They had to transition it to another company and have to get production up to a level to fill old and new orders.

I learnt a surprising thing. My VARs are getting the products quicker than the distis. I also placed an order with a VAR and will see who can get it first.

The main reason i Have heard is that asa 8.3 is out, most asa's will require a MEM upgrade. Thus they put a hold on new asa's until 8.3 was released to include the mem upgrade by default on new asa's. For some reason though they cant seem to get any asa's out even though it's been released.

I also heard the chip rumour. We've had some on order since Mid Feb and are still awaiting delivery of them.

My ASA's ETA is getting pushed back every few days. So far, it's indicating April 28th! This king of product availability (or lack of) is killing Cisco.

Chip rumor is getting a lot of traction.

ndic,
I have as ASA5510 with the AIP-10 module I'm looking to offload. You interested?

What kind of price are you thinking?

Would you let it go without the AIP-10 as I don’t think they need Intrusion detection?

Is it in good shape?

we can talk off post, cheiner@networkdesignsinc.com
