[c-nsp] Cisco ASA 5505 limitations

[Justin Shore]

Or you could buy an ISR 881 for less than half the cost of the ASA 5505. 
  That's basically what we've switched to.  We were deploying 5505s for 
remote workers and we're now deploying 881s with wifi.  The cost of a 
5505 and AP1131 is on par as the cost of the 881W w/ Adv IP license and 
PoE PSU.  The ASA loses its appeal when you see the cost of doing more 
than 1 VLAN.  With the ISR 881 I can have a pair of VLANs for secured 
voice and data (wired and wifi, only company machines allowed on it) and 
another unsecured VLAN for guest access (wired and wifi).  That way I 
can prohibit access to our corporate LAN from the unsecured side of our 
remote user's network.  Works like a champ.  Plus you have Cisco wifi so 
getting it to work with Cisco cordless phones is a breeze.

You can configure the VLANs with ACLs to make them function as you wish (DMZ1 / DMZ2 / etc).  As for the routing, it should do OSPF and EIGRP - but it can't do everything the 5510 and up can do.
