Table 2. Product Part Numbers Affected by This Announcement
Customers who are using Cisco Security Manager 3.x or 4.x only to configure or push security policy to devices can continue to use the existing 500- and 1,000-device licenses. Customers who use advanced Cisco Security Manager 4.x features such as event management and reporting should consider deploying multiple Cisco Security Manager servers, each managing fewer than 300 devices, to avoid potential performance issues if they currently manage more than 300 devices. Cisco offers 100- and 250-device licenses in case customers want to pursue the Cisco Security Manager multiple-server option.
Note: Cisco Security Manager 4.x offers advanced capabilities around event management and reporting that are important for customers actively managing and monitoring their ASA, IPS, VPN, and RA deployments. With the new, expanded capabilities of Cisco Security Manager 4.x,the management of more than 300 devices per Cisco Security Manager server is not recommended due to the performance-intensive nature of these new features.
Service prices for Cisco products are subject to change after the product End of Sale date.
