Note:   Currently, Cisco ASA clustering is supported only for the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switching platforms 
because of the need for Cisco Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) support.

In addition to the Cisco ASA platforms, the integrated stack readily supports other services. For example, the Cisco 

NetFlow Generation Appliance (NGA) introduces a highly scalable, cost-effective architecture for cross-device flow 

generation. The Cisco NGA generates, unifies, and exports flow data, empowering network operations, 

engineering, and security teams to boost network operations excellence, enhance services delivery, implement 

accurate billing, and harden network security. Figure 6 shows the deployment of Cisco NGA on the stack to provide 

these services, accepting mirrored traffic from various sources of the converged infrastructure as Cisco NetFlow 

source data.
