There are an awful number of footnotes on this page...can we merge or crop some of em?
As an end user of this page I have found the footnotes very useful. Robertdirosario ( talk) 02:06, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
I changed most of the references to the FWSM to "FWSM" rather than the part code. Dave au 03:33, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
Should I renumber the footnotes for my edit? -- MENNIS 21:00, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
The statement "The PIX became Cisco's flagship firewall product after their failed product, the Centri firewall, which ran on Windows NT 4." is false. Centri Firewall was acquired in July 1997 via the Global Internet Software Group acquisition, two years after the PIX acquisition. Centri went on to lay the groundwork for Cisco policy-based management application, Cisco Security Manager, later renamed to Cisco Secure Policy Manager. They competed in the same business unit for a short period. -- Rbmcnutt
My PIX 520 has 16MB Flash yet it is an earlier serial than the "cutoff" point mentioned for the 2MB/16MB upgrade. Is this accurate?
There is no Maximum PIX OS Version row in the Current Models table. This seems to imply that all of these models will run the latest version of PIX OS (currently 7.2), but I'm not sure this is the case for the 501 and 506E. Cisco's release notes for 7.0 show that it only supports 515/515E, 525 and 535 and specifically states under System Requirements:
The PIX 501, PIX 506E, and PIX 520 security appliances are not supported in software Version 7.0
I can't find the 7.1 or 7.2 release notes, but I doubt that these later releases have introduced support for these models. Royhills 10:33, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
ASA boot from Compact Flash card (the internal one) in IDE mode so it really need IDE controller. 83.6.141.253 22:00, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
Deleted the discussion of the "FrakenPIX" as it is off topic and violates PIX software license agreement. Brian Ford 14:13, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
The footnote for Brantley Coiles is meaningless (and possibly inaccurate as there is no way of verifying that he works at the company mentioned - they don't list anyone under "company"). Brian Ford 14:20, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
You should write marketing lit for cisco, this is an encyclopedia, not a marketing extension for the technology that likley pays your paycheck. You guys should be ashamed of the flagrant plugs for product and other other cisco products along the way- doesn't Cisco have a website where this material can accessed by people who actually care about getting the info?

Have Pimped my PIX 525 to 1000 MHz using a SL5QV 1000/256/100/1.75V processor. Would take it to 1100 MHz, but the processors are so hard to get... Martin
This pages states that the FWSM has no PCI Slots but if you open it there is a pci slot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.234.217.150 ( talk) 16:41, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
I'm quite certain PIX 515 and 525 DO support SSL VPN ! As far as they run a 7.x + OS version.
Based on documentation available from John Mayes' new webpage, I am gathering more information on the original Network Translation Inc., PIX, but I am asking for input on whether or not this information should go on the Cisco PIX page or on a separate new page. Questions/comments? -- MARQUIS111 ( talk) 17:29, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
I'm considering adding interior shots and front/back shots of the various models. Should those have their own pages or should the PIX pix just be thumbnailed off to the right of the page?
Google Chrome reports that the site referenced in reference 10 (Hacking the PIX 506e) possibly supports Malware. Should this be removed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.144.59.64 ( talk • contribs) 08:44, 15 January 2011
So I know wiki had an old and very good ASA page, it appears someone has deleted that and referenced this article with a broken piece about ASAs... Why was this done? Can we retreive the old ASA article and make that active? ASAs are NOT Pixes and IMHO should have their own page back, or just rename this page the "Cisco Firewall" page and integrate the old article info into this one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Golbez81 ( talk • contribs) 16:36, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
I agree completely about undeleting the actual ASA page. Some genius moderator/admin here decided a while back that an ancient platform (PIX) that is well on its way out, is more relevant than a current platform (ASA) that most people interact with on a daily basis (whether they know it or not).

Still not undeleted and this is 2016 :( There's apparently plenty of room on wiki for gigabytes upon gigabytes of blather about someone's mommy's best friend's son's garage band, but the ASA is "not notable." Sigh.

Cisco ASA is live. The tag in this section (and the section itself) are out of date. Replace them with a one-liner and a link? –

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just modified one external link on Cisco PIX. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

I've been searching for some extensive HW information about the now obsolete PIX series and to my surprise, I've run into this horrible thing when some geniuses here deleted all that information last december with some totally silly reasoning. What the heck? This information is getting pretty much impossible to get already and will be really impossible to get in another five years when every other site having info about 20-25 years old HW will be dead. So is this encyclopedia or what? If it is, than every bit of fact is important for preserving and deleting it is just WRONG, there is NO justification for that. Behemot ( talk) 17:01, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
I also think the removed technical information was very useful. Should we just add the information back in? Robertdirosario ( talk) 07:12, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
