Cisco Cisco Security Manager 4.3 Guía De Información

Security Manager supports the software on the devices that it manages as described in the following 
sections:

The following list describes the minimum supported software versions plus the specific release numbers 
that have additional support in Security Manager for devices that run operating systems other than Cisco 
IOS Software. You must use a software version that meets at least the minimum. If you use a version that 
is not listed, Security Manager will treat it as one of these versions (the most closely-matching version, 
which is typically the release number nearest to it but lower). Any features that are unique to the version 
you are using are not supported in Security Manager.

Cisco ASA-5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliances (ASA)—ASA Software Release 7.0(1-2, 
4-8), 7.1(1-2), 7.2(1-5), 8.0(2-3, 5), 8.1(1-2), 8.2(1-3), 8.3(1-2), 8.4(1-4), 8.5(1), 8.6(1).

The following exceptions apply to ASA software support:

If you upgrade a device that you are already managing in Security Manager to 8.3(1) or higher, 
you must rediscover the device from the inventory. This is required due to significant policy 
changes between the 8.3 release and lower releases. This requirement applies to all device 
models, including upgrades of a 5585-X from 8.2(3) to 8.4(4).

This type of inconsistency is not restricted to 8.3(1) alone; it can happen in more than one 
scenario where ASA is upgraded from the following OS versions: 

—7.x to 8.x 

—8.3 and above from any lower version 

—8.3.x to 8.4.2 and above 

For detailed information on these scenarios, refer to the section titled “Validating a Proposed 
Image Update on a Device” in the User Guide for Cisco Security Manager 4.3 at the following 
URL: 

Although 8.2(4) is supported in downward compatibility mode as 8.2(3), Security Manager does 
support ASA 5585-X models with SSP-10 and SSP-40 running 8.2(4).

You cannot use Security Manager to manage SSL VPNs on ASA 7.x.

You cannot use Security Manager to manage an ASA 8.3+ device if you enable password 
encryption using the password encryption aes command. You must turn off password 
encryption before you can add the device to the Security Manager inventory.

Release 8.5(1) applies to the Catalyst 6500 Series ASA Services Module (ASA-SM) only. The 
ASA-SM does not support any type of VPN configuration.

Release 8.6(1) applies to Cisco ASA 5500-X based Adaptive Security Appliance models only 
(except 5585-X Adaptive Security Appliance).
