Releases Feature Information
AIP SSM 7.0(1) We introduced support for the AIP SSM for the ASA 5510,
5520, and 5540.
The following screen was introduced: Configuration >
Firewall > Service Policy Rules > Add/Edit Service Policy
Rule > Intrusion Prevention.
Virtual sensors (ASA 5510 and higher) 8.0(2) Virtual sensor support was introduced. Virtual sensors let
you configure multiple security policies on the ASA IPS
module.
The following screen was modified: Context Management >
Security Contexts > Edit Context.
AIP SSC for the ASA 5505 8.2(1) We introduced support for the AIP SSC for the ASA 5505.
The following screen was introduced: Configuration >
Device Setup > SSC Setup.
Support for the ASA IPS SSP-10, -20, -40, and
-60 for the ASA 5585-X
8.2(5)/
8.4(2)
We introduced support for the ASA IPS SSP-10, -20, -40,
and -60 for the ASA 5585-X. You can only install the ASA
IPS SSP with a matching-level SSP; for example, SSP-10
and ASA IPS SSP-10.
Note The ASA 5585-X is not supported in Version 8.3.
Support for Dual SSPs for SSP-40 and SSP-60 8.4(2) For SSP-40 and SSP-60, you can use two SSPs of the same
level in the same chassis. Mixed-level SSPs are not
supported (for example, an SSP-40 with an SSP-60 is not
supported). Each SSP acts as an independent device, with
separate configurations and management. You can use the
two SSPs as a failover pair if desired.
Note When using two SSPs in the chassis, VPN is not
supported; note, however, that VPN has not been
disabled.
We did not modify any screens.
Support for the ASA IPS SSP for the ASA
5512-X through ASA 5555-X
8.6(1) We introduced support for the ASA IPS SSP software
module for the ASA 5512-X, ASA 5515-X, ASA 5525-X,
ASA 5545-X, and ASA 5555-X.
We did not modify any screens.
