OSPF redistribute BGP

OSPF redistribution feature was added.

EIGRP Auto- Summary 

For EIGRP, the Auto-Summary field is now disabled by default.

Support for cluster members at different 
geographical locations (inter-site) for 
transparent mode

You can now place cluster members at different geographical locations when 
using Spanned EtherChannel mode in transparent firewall mode. Inter-site 
clustering with spanned EtherChannels in routed firewall mode is not 
supported.

We did not modify any ASDM screens.

Static LACP port priority support for 
clustering

Some switches do not support dynamic port priority with LACP (active and 
standby links). You can now disable dynamic port priority to provide better 
compatibility with spanned EtherChannels. You should also follow these 
guidelines:

Network elements on the cluster control link path should not verify the L4 
checksum. Redirected traffic over the cluster control link does not have a 
correct L4 checksum. Switches that verify the L4 checksum could cause 
traffic to be dropped.

Port-channel bundling downtime should not exceed the configured 
keepalive interval.

Support for 32 active links in a spanned 
EtherChannel for clustering

ASA EtherChannels now support up to 16 active links. With spanned 
EtherChannels, that functionality is extended to support up to 32 active links 
across the cluster when used with two switches in a vPC and when you disable 
dynamic port priority. The switches must support EtherChannels with 16 active 
links, for example, the Cisco Nexus 7000 with with F2-Series 10 Gigabit 
Ethernet Module.

For switches in a VSS or vPC that support 8 active links, you can now 
configure 16 active links in the spanned EtherChannel (8 connected to each 
switch). Previously, the spanned EtherChannel only supported 8 active links 
and 8 standby links, even for use with a VSS/vPC.

If you want to use more than 8 active links in a spanned EtherChannel, 
you cannot also have standby links; the support for 9 to 32 active links 
requires you to disable cLACP dynamic port priority that allows the 
use of standby links.

Support for 16 cluster members for the ASA 
5585-X

The ASA 5585-X now supports 16-unit clusters. 

We did not modify any ASDM screens.
