Cisco Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series 7600 Series ASA Services Module

The Cisco Adaptive Security Virtual 
Appliance (ASAv) has been added as a new 
platform to the ASA series.

The ASAv brings full firewall functionality to virtualized environments to 
secure data center traffic and multi-tenant environments. The ASAv runs on 
VMware vSphere. You can manage and monitor the ASAv using ASDM or the 
CLI.

BGP Support

We now support the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). BGP is an inter 
autonomous system routing protocol. BGP is used to exchange routing 
information for the Internet and is the protocol used between Internet service 
providers (ISP).

  We introduced the following screens:
Configuration > Device Setup > Routing > BGP
Monitoring > Routing > BGP Neighbors, Monitoring > Routing > BGP Routes

We modified the following screens:
Configuration > Device Setup > Routing > Static Routes> Add > Add Static 
Route
Configuration > Device Setup > Routing > Route Maps> Add > Add Route 
Map

Static route for Null0 interface

Sending traffic to a Null0 interface results in dropping the packets destined to 
the specified network. This feature is useful in configuring Remotely 
Triggered Black Hole (RTBH) for BGP.

We modified the following screen:
Configuration > Device Setup > Routing > Static Routes> Add > Add Static 
Route

OSPF support for Fast Hellos

OSPF supports the Fast Hello Packets feature, resulting in a configuration that 
results in faster convergence in an OSPF network.

We modified the following screen: Configuration > Device Setup > Routing > 
OSPF > Interface > Edit OSPF Interface Advanced properties

New OSPF Timers

New OSPF timers were added; old ones were deprecated.

We modified the following screen: Configuration > Device Setup > Routing > 
OSPF > Setup > Edit OSPF Process Advanced Properties

OSPF Route filtering using ACL

Route filtering using ACL is now supported.

We introduced the following screen: Configuration > Device Setup > Routing 
> OSPF > Filtering Rules > Add Filter Rules

OSPF Monitoring enhancements

Additional OSPF monitoring information was added.

We modified the following commands: show ospf events, show ospf rib, show 
ospf statistics, show ospf border-routers [detail], show ospf interface brief
