Release Notes for the Secure Firewall ASA Series, 9.18(x)

This document contains release information for ASA software Version 9.18.

Important Notes

  • ASDM signed-image support in 9.18(2)/7.18(1.152) and later—The ASA now validates whether the ASDM image is a Cisco digitally signed image. If you try to run an older ASDM image with an ASA version with this fix, ASDM will be blocked and the message “%ERROR: Signature not valid for file disk0:/<filename>” will be displayed at the ASA CLI. ASDM release 7.18(1.152) and later are backwards compatible with all ASA versions, even those without this fix. (CSCwb05291, CSCwb05264)

  • Downgrade issue from 9.18 or later—There is a behavior change in 9.18 where the access-group command will be listed before its access-list commands. If you downgrade, the access-group command will be rejected because it has not yet loaded the access-list commands. This outcome occurs even if you had previously enabled the forward-reference enable command, because that command is now removed. Before you downgrade, be sure to copy all access-group commands manually, and then after downgrading, re-enter them.

  • 9.18(1) upgrade issue if you enabled HTTPS/ASDM (with HTTPS authentication) and SSL on the same interface with the same port—If you enable both SSL (webvpn > enable interface) and HTTPS/ASDM (http ) access on the same interface, you can access AnyConnect from https://ip_address and ASDM from https://ip_address/admin, both on port 443. However, if you also enable HTTPS authentication (aaa authentication http console), then you must specify a different port for ASDM access starting in 9.18(1). Make sure you change the port before you upgrade using the http command. (CSCvz92016)

  • Behavior change for Secure Firewall 3100 in 9.18(2.7)—When you set the FEC to Auto using the fec command on the Secure Firewall 3100 fixed ports, the default type is now set to cl108-rs instead of cl74-fc for 25 GB SR, CSR, and LR transceivers. (CSCwc75082)

New Features in ASA 9.18(4)

Released: October 3, 2023

Feature

Description

High Availability and Scalability Features

Reduced false failovers for ASA high availability

We now introduced an additional heartbeat module in the data plane of the ASA high availability. This heartbeat module helps to avoid false failovers or split-brain scenarios that can happen due to traffic congestion in the control plain or CPU overload.

Also in 9.20(1).

show failover statistics includes client statistics

The failover client packet statistics are now enhanced to improve debuggability. The show failover statistics command is enhanced to display np-clients (data-path clients) and cp-clients (control-plane clients) information.

Modified commands: show failover statistics cp-clients , show failover statistics dp-clients

Also in 9.20(2).

show failover statistics events includes new events

The show failover statistics events command is now enhanced to identify the local failures notified by the App agent: failover link uptime, supervisor heartbeat failures, and disk full issues.

Modified commands: show failover statistics events

Also in 9.20(2).

Interface Features

FXOS local-mgtm show command improvements

See the following additions for interface show commands in FXOS local-mgmt:

  • Added the show portmanager switch tail-drop-allocated buffers all command

  • Include Ethernet port ID in show portmanager switch status command

  • For the Secure Firewall 3100, added the show portmanager switch default-rule-drop-counter command

New/Modified FXOS commands: show portmanager switch tail-drop-allocated buffers all , show portmanager switch status , show portmanager switch default-rule-drop-counter

Administrative, Monitoring, and Troubleshooting Features

show tech support improvements

Added output to show tech support for:

  • show storage detail , show slot expand detail for the Secure Firewall 3100 in show tech support brief

  • Recent messages from dpdk.log in the flash for the ASA Virtual

  • Control link state for the Firepower 1010

  • show failover statistics

  • FXOS local-mgmt show portmanager switch tail-drop-allocated buffers all

  • show controller

  • DPDK mbuf pool statistics

New/Modified commands: show tech support

New Features in ASA 9.18(3)

Released: February 16, 2023

Feature

Description

Platform Features

Firepower 1010E

We introduced the Firepower 1010E. This model is the same as the Firepower 1010 except it doesn't have Power Over Ethernet ports.

ASDM support in 7.19(1.90) or 7.18(2.1). ASDM 7.19(1) does not support this model.

Also in 9.18(2.218). This model is not supported in 9.19(1).

Interface Features

Default Forward Error Correction (FEC) on Secure Firewall 3100 fixed ports changed to cl108-rs from cl74-fc for 25 GB+ SR, CSR, and LR transceivers

When you set the FEC to Auto on the Secure Firewall 3100 fixed ports, the default type is now set to cl108-rs instead of cl74-fc for 25 GB SR, CSR, and LR transceivers.

New/Modified commands: fec

Also in 9.19(1) and 9.18(2.7).

VPN Features

AnyConnect connection authentication using SAML

In a DNS load balancing cluster, when SAML authentication is configured on ASAs, you can specify a local base URL that uniquely resolves to the device on which the configuration is applied.

New/Modified commands: local-base-urlurl

New Features in ASA 9.18(2)

Released: August 10, 2022

Feature

Description

Interface Features

Loopback interface support for BGP and management traffic

You can now add a loopback interface and use it for the following features:

  • AAA

  • BGP

  • SNMP

  • SSH

  • Syslog

  • Telnet

New/Modified commands: interface loopback , logging host , neighbor update-source , snmp-server host , ssh , telnet

ping command changes

To support pinging a loopback interface, the ping command now has changed behavior. If you specify the interface in the command, the source IP address matches the specified interface IP address, but the actual egress interface is determined by a route lookup using the data routing table.

New/Modified commands: ping

New Features in ASA 9.18(1)

Released: June 6, 2022

Feature

Description

Platform Features

ASAv-AWS Security center integration for AWS GuardDuty You can now integrate Amazon GuardDuty service with ASAv. The integration solution helps you to capture and process the threat analysis data or results (malicious IP addresses) reported by Amazon GuardDuty. You can configure and feed these malicious IP addresses in the ASAv to protect the underlying networks and applications.

Firewall Features

Forward referencing of ACLs and objects is always enabled. In addition, object group search for access control is now enabled by default.

You can refer to ACLs or network objects that do not yet exist when configuring access groups or access rules.

In addition, object group search is now enabled by default for access control for new deployments. Upgrading devices will continue to have this command disabled. If you want to enable it (recommended), you must do so manually.

Caution

 

If you downgrade, the access-group command will be rejected because it has not yet loaded the access-list commands. This outcome occurs even if you had previously enabled the forward-reference enable command, because that command is now removed. Before you downgrade, be sure to copy all access-group commands manually, and then after downgrading, re-enter them.

We removed the forward-reference enable command and changed the default for new deployments for object-group-search access-control to enabled.

Routing Features

Path monitoring metrics in PBR.

PBR uses the metrics to determine the best path (egress interface) for forwarding the traffic. Path monitoring periodically notifies PBR with the monitored interface whose metric got changed. PBR retrieves the latest metric values for the monitored interfaces from the path monitoring database and updates the data path.

New/Modified commands: clear path-monitoring , policy-route , show path-monitoring

Interface Features

Pause Frames for Flow Control for the Secure Firewall 3100

If you have a traffic burst, dropped packets can occur if the burst exceeds the buffering capacity of the FIFO buffer on the NIC and the receive ring buffers. Enabling pause frames for flow control can alleviate this issue.

New/Modified commands: flowcontrol send on

Breakout ports for the Secure Firewall 3130 and 3140

You can now configure four 10GB breakout ports for each 40GB interface on the Secure Firewall 3130 and 3140.

New/Modified commands: breakout

License Features

Secure Firewall 3100 support for the Carrier license

The Carrier license enables Diameter, GTP/GPRS, SCTP inspection.

New/Modified commands: feature carrier

Certificate Features

Mutual LDAPS authentication.

You can configure a client certificate for the ASA to present to the LDAP server when it requests a certificate to authenticate. This feature applies when using LDAP over SSL. If an LDAP server is configured to require a peer certificate, the secure LDAP session will not complete and authentication/authorization requests will fail.

New/Modified commands: ssl-client-certificate .

Authentication: Validate certificate name or SAN

When a feature specific reference-identity is configured, the peer certificate identity is validated with the matching criteria specified under crypto ca reference-identity <name> submode commands. If there is no match found in the peer certificate Subject Name/SAN or if the FQDN specified with reference-identity submode command fail to resolve, the connection is terminated

The reference-identity CLI is configured as a submode command for aaa-server host configuration and ddns configuration.

New/Modified commands: ldap-over-ssl , ddns update method , and show update method .

Administrative, Monitoring, and Troubleshooting Features

Multiple DNS server groups

You can now use multiple DNS server groups: one group is the default, while other groups can be associated with specific domains. A DNS request that matches a domain associated with a DNS server group will use that group. For example, if you want traffic destined to inside eng.cisco.com servers to use an inside DNS server, you can map eng.cisco.com to an inside DNS group. All DNS requests that do not match a domain mapping will use the default DNS server group, which has no associated domains. For example, the DefaultDNS group can include a public DNS server available on the outside interface.

New/Modified commands: dns-group-map , dns-to-domain

Dynamic Logging Rate-limit

A new option to limit logging rate when block usage exceeds a specified threshold value was added. It dynamically limits the logging rate as the rate limiting is disabled when the block usage returns to normal value.

New/Modified commands: logging rate-limit

Packet Capture for Secure Firewall 3100 devices

The provision to capture switch packets was added. This option can be enabled only for Secure Firewall 3100 devices.

New/Modified commands: capture real-time

VPN Features

IPsec flow offload.

On the Secure Firewall 3100, IPsec flows are offloaded by default. After the initial setup of an IPsec site-to-site VPN or remote access VPN security association (SA), IPsec connections are offloaded to the field-programmable gate array (FPGA) in the device, which should improve device performance.

New/Modified commands: clear flow-offload-ipsec , flow-offload-ipsec , show flow-offload-ipsec

Certificate and SAML for Authentication

You can configure remote access VPN connection profiles for certificate and SAML authentication. Users can configure VPN settings to authenticate a machine certificate or user certificate before a SAML authentication/authorization is initiated. This can be done using DAP certificate attributes along with user specific SAML DAP attributes.

New/Modified commands: authentication saml certificate , authentication certificate saml , authentication multiple-certificate saml
