Cisco Cisco Security Manager 4.10 Guía De Información

12.1(11)AX

To configure and manage VPNs on Catalyst 6500/7600 devices, the earliest software release is Cisco 
IOS Software Release 12.2(17b)SXA.

To configure and manage IDSM settings on Catalyst 6500/7600 devices, the earliest software release 
is Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2(18)SXF4.

For routers running an IPS-enabled version of Cisco IOS Software, the earliest supported Cisco IOS 
Software release is 12.4(11)T2. In addition, to perform signature updates on routers running Cisco 
IOS Software release 15.0, you need a a separate ios-ips-update license, which you must manually 
apply to the device.

The IPS subsystem has a separate numbering scheme, which you can view in the device properties 
in Security Manager. The 3.x subsystems are equivalent to IPS 5.x. The subsystems are:

3.000.001, supported in 12.4(11)T to 12.4(11)T4.

3.001.001, supported in 12.4(15)T to 12.4(15)T2.

3.001.002, supported in 12.4(15)T3 to 12.4(24)T.

3.002.001, supported in 15.0(1)M+.

Security Manager directly supports many individual point releases for the various operating systems you 
can use with the supported devices. When Security Manager supports a specific point release, it means 
that you can configure some features new to that release using the product.

Some point releases are supported in “downward compatibility mode.” In this mode, you can use the 
product to configure devices running that point release, but you cannot configure features that are new 
in the release unless you use FlexConfigs. Thus, the point release is treated as being the same as the 
nearest point release to it, and Security Manager maps the release number to that supported release.

The following table lists the releases that are specifically supported in Security Manager, and the point 
releases that are supported as downward equivalents to the release. The table might not include 
information about every downward compatible release. In general, if a version is not listed here or in 

, Security Manager will treat it as one of the 

supported versions (the most closely-matching version, which is typically the release number nearest to 
it but lower).
