    The info I got from a Cisco Security SE is that the 501 and 506 will support
    7.0 but with a subset of the features available in the 515.

    No date on the release :(

    Hi all,

            Does anyone on this list know if Cisco
    is ever planning a 7.0 release for the 501 and 506 Pix hardware? I was a
    Beta tester for 7.0 when it was in the Beta stage and when I asked them
    about it (back in March) they said that there would be support for the 501
    and 506 in a follow on release but they didn't say when. I was wondering if
    anyone has any info on when or if this will ever happen?

    While I haven't tried this yet, it's my understanding that with PIX 7.0 this
    is possible to do with the same-security-traffic command.
    According to the PIX documentation
    (http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/multisec/asa_sw/v_70/cref_t
    xt/s.htm#wp2668461)
    this allows you to "permit communication between interfaces with equal
    security levels".

    Regards,
    Joe
