Hello,
Disclaimer: I've never set foot close to such a device.
Only think I could find...
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/23644
However keep in mind that in the world of vulnerabilities theaforementioned is considered dated (25/04/2007).
You can get some general ideas on how such devices are built fromDennis Cox's presentation at CanSecWest06 "Insiders View: NetworkSecurity Devices".
If I were you I would start playing with its protocol "dissectors"first, via fuzzing a server(s), and see what I can get out of that.
Also I would look for deployment vulnerabilities such as defaultusernames and passwords (if such exists), secure protocols inmanagement interfaces, SSLv2 vs SSLv3, SNMPv3 vs SNMPv(1|2), etc...
What is your goal(s) in this pen-test? Crashing it, delaying theprocessing of packets and hence letting an attack slip in,compromising the device administration?
Good luck.
