Introduction The data center networking trend is clear with every network service being slowly virtualized. Network devices that are virtual provide big advantage over their physical counterparts. First, VMs can be provisioned much more quicker and be part of a larger virtual infrastructure, you can easily scale them adding more virtual CPU or memory and you can snapshot them to save their actual state to a file and move them around. Cisco has also introduced their virtual version of their popular firewall product ASA. It simple called ASAv and runs under popular hypervisors such as VMware vSphere or KVM. You can find the product home page. This is different product and idea than. Akvis Lightshop V 4 0 Serial Killers.

First you need to get hold of the ova package. You need to be entitled with Cisco to download the software from or you can do a Google and find it elsewhere. I had some problems with the latest release 9.3.2(200) where it would stuck at booting loop, the kernel complained about Illegal Instruction. Looks like it did not like my dual Opteron 4180 host. Therefore in this demo we are going to use release 9.3.1 which worked just fine.

Again the free trial license is good enough for this. I believe you can still get the Nexus 1000v and ASA 1000v for free as. Asa 1000v Trial License Reset. Seven reasons VMware NSX, Cisco UCS and Nexus are orders of magnitude more awesome together. VMware NSX, Cisco UCS and Cisco Nexus, TOGETHER solve many of the most.
