I am looking to purchase a Cisco PIX515R including 5.3.1 software.
Will this product come with an installation/Configuration manual?
And is there a reseller in Florida?

Richard, I installed 3 PIX515 UR systems about 4 months ago in 3 locations across north america. The short answer is yes they come with a "basic" install manual. I recommend you order the associate smartnet, the support at cisco is very good and they will actually help configure the pix with you. I also recommend the following book which helped me a lot: Cisco Security Architectures ISBN 0-07-134708-9 (has good examples relating to PIX).

Cisco's Installation Manuals typically are pretty basic and cover only installing the unit in the rack, plugging it in and that sort of thing.

Configuration is a whole 'nother animal, but you can find sample configurations on Cisco's Web site.paul

Hi,

You should use with 6.0 version. Like all security system product you need to update operating system for being at the best secure level.
So CISCO warranty SMARNET should always bought for this kind of system

Furthermore 6.0 version offeryou an graphical interface very easy to use.
The first step is still in telnet you will only need around 6 steps for iniating your PIX.

In 6.0 you get freely 61 Intrusion Detection System. Nice !

You can too create VPN Tunnel around 30 or more in IPSEC56 Bits encryption.

For finding reseller in Florida. Go on www.cisco.com and in Partners and Resseller you will an company

Wish Good experience with PIX !
