                Primary differences: 5505 can switchport trunk with security plus license, 5510 uses subinterfaces to trunk. 5510 supports more encrypted/unencrypted throughput. 5505 doesn't support stateful failover. Failover is possible, but is stateless active/standby failover.Jun 12, 2013

                The 5510 just has more grunt to handle additional connections, throughput and users. Functionally they are about identical. The 5510 supports HSRP (Hot Standby Router Protocol) , whereas the 5505 does not. The 5505 has more physical interfaces (including two PoE ports).Jun 12, 2013
