I've got a Pix 506 here at work. The software version on it now doesn't allow VPN passthrough, but from what I've read, the last(506 is discontinued) version does. I've never updated the OS on this before, since we haven't had a reason. What I'm wondering is how much would it cost to upgrade versions? I'm totally lost on the pricing structure of it, but it looks like it costs almost as much as buying a new Pix 506e, which isn't worth the cost.
I can live with the current version, but I'd like to be able to support VPN passthrough in case we need it. Here is the relavant info from a 'show version' command:
Cisco PIX Firewall Version 6.2(2)
Cisco PIX Device Manager Version 2.0(2)
