Which Cisco ASA model provides integrated wireless access-point capabilities that are ideal for branch offices'?

Question

Options

• ACisco ASA 55010W-X
• BCisco ASA 5507W-X
• CCisco ASA 5505W-X
• DCisco ASA 5506W-X

• A
  9% (2)
• C
  4% (1)
• D
  87% (20)

Explanation

Option D is correct because the Cisco ASA 5506W-X is a real, shipping product in the ASA 5500-X series that includes an integrated 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless access point - combining firewall, VPN, and Wi-Fi in a single appliance purpose-built for small branch offices.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (55010W-X): "55010" is not a valid Cisco ASA model number - it appears to be a fabricated/garbled designation.
• B (5507W-X): The ASA 5507 does not exist in Cisco's lineup; there is no model between the 5506 and 5508.
• C (5505W-X): The legacy ASA 5505 had a wireless variant, but it was designated 5505-W (older style, not the -X series), and has since been end-of-life'd; "5505W-X" is not a standard Cisco product name.

Memory tip: The "W" in 5506W-X stands for Wireless - and "6" is the only real number in Cisco's current 5500-X branch lineup that pairs with a W suffix. Think: "5506W = Six-shooter Wi-Fi for branch sites."
