Network Dictionary – ASAi

ASAi – (ass-i) – The correct plural term for more than one Cisco ASA firewall appliances.
One ASA, two ASAI.

For example, “…then we put the ASAI at the in front of the HA server cluster and the job is good un”.


Note: ASAN – One ASA Two ASAN – “so we bang the ASAN over there” – has a funky kind of ring to it. Only problem is that the SAN as a term sounds like something from the storage people – we can’t have that.

Nod of the head to Brandon Carroll as http://globalconfig.net for the suggestion and review.
