to the new ASA, but the traffic is allowed through the ASA without being inspected by the ASA CX.

Model Guidelines
Supported only on the ASA 5585-X. See the Cisco ASA Compatibility Matrix for more information:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/compatibility/asamatrx.html
Additional Guidelines and Limitations
