I have made config changes to a few 515's, back when I was just beginning to work as a network engineer around 2007 - 2009. The config is a bit different compared to ASAs and I needed to ask for some help :)

I liked how the video explained the IETF didnt want to use NAT because it went against the philosophy of the internet being connected to everything with no single points of failure.

There are comments there for some very senior people involved back then. I enjoyed reading those :)
