Cisco Cisco ASA for Nexus 1000V Series Switch

For information about ASDM and Catalyst 6500 compatibility, see Cisco ASA Compatibility:

Table 1

 lists the new features for ASA interim Version 8.5(1.7).

We recommend that you upgrade to a Cisco.com-posted ASA interim release only if you have a specific 
problem that it resolves. If you decide to run an interim release in a production environment, keep in 
mind that only targeted testing is performed on interim releases. Interim releases are fully supported by 
Cisco TAC and will usually remain on the download site only until the next maintenance release is 
available. If you choose to run an interim release, we strongly encourage you to upgrade to a fully-tested 
maintenance or feature release when it becomes available.

We will document interim release features at the time of the next maintenance or feature release. For a 
list of resolved caveats for each ASA interim release, see the interim release notes available on the 
Cisco.com software download site.

Support for the Catalyst 
6500 Supervisor 2T

The ASA now interoperates with the Catalyst 6500 Supervisor 2T. For hardware and software 
compatibility, see: 

You may have to upgrade the FPD image on the ASA. See the Upgrading procedure the 
in the release notes.
