FPR4245-ASA-K9 Description
FPR4245-ASA-K9 is a Cisco Secure Firewall 4245 ASA appliance in the Cisco Secure Firewall 4200 Series, a 1RU ASA firewall chassis for high-capacity data center or large-enterprise firewall deployments that standardize on Cisco Secure ASA software. Cisco identifies the exact PID as the 4245 ASA chassis and lists 1 TB system memory, eight fixed 1/10/25-Gbps SFP28 fiber data ports with two 1/10/25-Gbps SFP28 management ports, two hot-swappable network module slots, and ASA performance values of 180 Gbps stateful inspection throughput, 100 Gbps multiprotocol firewall throughput, 70 Gbps IPsec VPN throughput, 180 million concurrent firewall connections, and 30,000 VPN peers.

Product Performance
Key Features
Cisco identifies FPR4245-ASA-K9 as the Secure Firewall 4245 ASA chassis, so the order should stay separate from NGFW and NGIPS orderable identities.
The 4245 ASA table entry provides the largest ASA values in the 4215, 4225, and 4245 group, including 180 Gbps stateful inspection throughput and 180 million firewall connections.
The appliance keeps the 1RU 4200 chassis format while moving to 1 TB system memory, which distinguishes it from the lower 4225 ASA model.
Eight fixed 1/10/25-Gbps SFP28 fiber ports and two SFP28 management ports are the built-in interface plan before network modules are selected.
Cisco ASA compatibility lists Secure Firewall 4245 network module support by ASA release, including different release requirements for 200G and 400G module choices.
The 4245 hardware row uses dual AC power modules, and Cisco lists 200 to 240 VAC high-line input for the 4245, so rack power must be checked before shipment.
Application Scenarios
Choose FPR4245-ASA-K9 when the approved firewall design is staying on ASA software and needs the 4245 values for throughput, connection count, VPN peers, or memory.
Use this SKU when the base appliance must provide eight fixed 25G-capable SFP28 fiber ports and still leave two bays for Cisco-listed network modules.
Select the ASA PID when operations, images, and management tools are aligned to Cisco Secure ASA rather than a Threat Defense NGFW orderable appliance.

- In a FPR4245-ASA-K9 vs FPR4225-ASA-K9 comparison, both are 1RU ASA appliances with the same fixed-port count and two module slots, but FPR4245-ASA-K9 increases memory, ASA firewall throughput, concurrent connections, VPN peers, and maximum input power.
- The FPR4245-ASA-K9 difference from FPR4245-NGFW-K9 is the orderable software role: FPR4245-ASA-K9 belongs to the Cisco Secure ASA table, while FPR4245-NGFW-K9 belongs to the Threat Defense / NGFW table.
- For buyers comparing FPR4245-ASA-K9 vs FPR4225-ASA-K9 vs FPR4245-NGFW-K9, which model to choose depends on the approved ASA or NGFW operating model and the exact capacity row shown in the comparison table.
Selection Guide
1. Confirm the ASA operating model
Select FPR4245-ASA-K9 only when the deployment plan names Cisco Secure ASA on the Secure Firewall 4245 hardware.
2. Use the 4245 ASA scale values
Choose this SKU when the design requires 180 Gbps ASA stateful inspection throughput, 180 million firewall connections, 30000 VPN peers, or 1 TB memory.
3. Compare against 4225 before sizing upward
Keep the order at FPR4225-ASA-K9 only if its lower ASA row and lower power profile match the approved firewall sizing document.
4. Check software, interface, and power details together
Verify ASA release support, ASDM or centralized management, module release requirements, SFP28 optics, and 200 to 240 VAC rack power before approving the quote.
Ordering Checklist
|
Review Area |
Required Decision |
Source-Based Risk |
|---|---|---|
|
Exact ASA PID |
Confirm FPR4245-ASA-K9 rather than FPR4245-NGFW-K9 or FPR4245-NGIPS-K9 |
Cisco lists separate 4245 orderable identities for ASA, NGFW, and NGIPS roles |
|
ASA sizing row |
Match the design to the 4245 ASA throughput, connection, VPN, and security-context values |
The 4245 ASA metrics are not the same as the Threat Defense performance table |
|
ASA release plan |
Confirm the ASA and ASDM versions used by the deployment |
Cisco introduced ASA support for Secure Firewall 4215, 4225, and 4245 in the ASA 9.20 release train |
|
Network modules |
Select modules with the required ASA release support |
Cisco lists 200G and 400G module support with different ASA release requirements |
|
Fixed-port optics |
Match SFP, SFP+, SFP28, DAC, or AOC choices to Cisco support tables |
Fixed and management ports have release-specific transceiver support |
|
Power input |
Confirm 200 to 240 VAC high-line rack power for the 4245 |
Cisco lists the 4245 AC input voltage as high-line only |
|
Rack and FRU planning |
Include rails, power modules, SSD, fan modules, and other field-replaceable parts as needed |
The hardware guide lists these PIDs separately from the chassis PID |
