Release Notes for the Cisco Secure Firewall ASA, 9.20(x)

This document contains release information for ASA software version 9.20(x).


Note


9.20(1) is only supported on the Secure Firewall 4200. Later releases are supported on the other models.


Important Notes

  • ASA 9.20(2) supports all current models.

  • OSPF redistribute commands that specify a route-map that matches a prefix-list will be removed in 9.20(2)—When you upgrade to 9.20(2), OSPF redistribute commands where the specified route-map uses a match ip address prefix-list will be removed from the configuration. Although prefix lists have never been supported, the parser still accepted the command. Before upgrading, you should reconfigure OSPF to use route maps that specify an ACL in the match ip address command.

  • ASA version 9.20(1) only supports the Secure Firewall 4200—ASDM 7.20(1) supports the Secure Firewall 4200 on 9.20(1), but is also backwards-compatible with earlier releases on other platforms.

New Features

This section lists new features for each release.


Note


New, changed, and deprecated syslog messages are listed in the syslog message guide.


New Features in ASA 9.20(2)

Released: December 13, 2023

Feature

Description

Platform Features

100GB network module support for the Secure Firewall 3100

You can now use the 100GB network module for the Secure Firewall 3100. This module is also supported for the Secure Firewall 4200.

Increased connection limits for the Secure Firewall 4200

Connection limits have been increased:

  • 4215: 15M → 40M

  • 4225: 30M → 80M

  • 4245: 60M → 80M

ASAv on OCI: Additional instances

ASA Virtual instances on OCI now supports additional shapes to achieve the highest performance and throughput level.

High Availability and Scalability Features

ASAv on Azure: Clustering with Gateway Load Balancing

We now support the ASA virtual clustering deployment on Azure using the Azure Resource Manager (ARM) template and then configure the ASAv clusters to use the Gateway Load Balancer (GWLB) for load balancing the network traffic.

New/Modified commands:

ASAv on AWS: Resiliency for clustering with Gateway Load Balancing

You can configure the Target Failover option in the Target Groups service of AWS, which helps GWLB to forward existing flows to a healthy target in the event of virtual instance failover. In the ASAv clustering, each instance is associated with a Target Group, where the Target Failover option is enabled. It helps GWLB to identify an unhealthy target and redirect or forward the network traffic to a healthy instance identified or registered as a target node in the target group.

Configurable delay to rejoin cluster after chassis heartbeat failure (Firepower 4100/9300)

By default, if the chassis heartbeat fails and then recovers, the node rejoins the cluster immediately. However, if you configure the health-check chassis-heartbeat-delay-rejoin command, it will rejoin according to the settings of the health-check system auto-rejoin command.

New/Modified commands: health-check chassis-heartbeat-delay-rejoin

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 np-clients

Also in 9.18(4).

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 9.18(4).

New Features in ASA 9.20(1)

Released: September 7, 2023


Note


This release is only supported on the Secure Firewall 4200.


Feature

Description

Platform Features

Secure Firewall 4200

We introduced the ASA for the Secure Firewall 4215, 4225, and 4245. The Secure Firewall 4200 supports up to 8 units for Spanned EtherChannel clustering. You can hot swap a network module of the same type while the firewall is powered up without having to reboot; making other module changes requires a reboot. Secure Firewall 4200 25 Gbps and higher interfaces support Forward Error Correction as well as speed detection based on the SFP installed. The SSDs are self-encrypting drives (SEDs), and if you have 2 SSDs, they form a software RAID. There are two Management interfaces.

Firewall Features

ASP rule engine compilation offloaded to the data plane.

By default, ASP rule engine compilation is offloaded to the data plane (instead of the control plane) when any rule-based policy (for example, ACL, NAT, VPN) has more than 100 rule updates. The offload leaves more time for the control plane to perform other tasks.

We added or modified the following commands: asp rule-engine compile-offload , show asp rule-engine .

Data plane quick reload

When data plane needs to be restarted, instead of a reboot of the device, you can now reload the data plane process. When data plane quick reload is enabled, it restarts the data plane and other processes.

New/Modified commands:data-plane quick-reload , show data-plane quick-reload status .

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 9.18(4).

Configurable cluster keepalive interval for flow status

The flow owner sends keepalives (clu_keepalive messages) and updates (clu_update messages) to the director and backup owner to refresh the flow state. You can now set the keepalive interval. The default is 15 seconds, and you can set the interval between 15 and 55 seconds. You may want to set the interval to be longer to reduce the amount of traffic on the cluster control link.

New/Modified commands: clu-keepalive-interval

Routing Features

EIGRPv6

You can now configure EIGRP for IPv6 and manage them separately. You must explicitly enable IPv6 when configuring EIGRP on each interface.

New/Modified commands: Following are the new commands introduced: ipv6 eigrp , ipv6 hello-interval eigrp , ipv6 hold-time eigrp , ipv6 split-horizon eigrp , show ipv6 eigrp interface , show ipv6 eigrp traffic , show ipv6 eigrp neighbors , show ipv6 eigrp interface , ipv6 summary-address eigrp , show ipv6 eigrp topology , show ipv6 eigrp events , show ipv6 eigrp timers , clear ipv6 eigrp , and clear ipv6 router eigrp

Following commands are modified to support IPv6: default-metric , distribute-list prefix-list , passive-interface , eigrp log-neighbor-warnings , eigrp log-neighbor-changes , eigrp router-id , and eigrp stub

Interface Features

VXLAN VTEP IPv6 support

You can now specify an IPv6 address for the VXLAN VTEP interface. IPv6 is not supported for the ASA virtual cluster control link or for Geneve encapsulation.

New/Modified commands: default-mcast-group , mcast-group , peer ip

Loopback interface support for DNS, HTTP, ICMP, and IPsec Flow Offload

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

  • DNS

  • HTTP

  • ICMP

  • IPsec Flow Offload

License Features

IPv6 for Cloud services such as Smart Licensing and Smart Call Home

ASA now supports IPv6 for Cloud services such as Smart Licensing and Smart Call Home.

Certificate Features

IPv6 PKI for OCSP and CRL

ASA now supports both IPv4 and IPv6 OCSP and CRL URLs. When using IPv6 in the URLs, it must be enclosed with square brackets.

New/Modified commands:crypto ca trustpointcrl , cdp url , ocsp url

Administrative, Monitoring, and Troubleshooting Features

Rate limiting for SNMP syslogs

If you do not set system-wide rate limiting, you can now configure rate limiting separately for syslogs sent to an SNMP server.

New/Modified commands: logging history rate-limit

Packet Capture for switches

You can now configure to capture egress and ingress traffic packets for a switch. This option is applicable only for Secure Firewall 4200 model devices.

New/Modified commands:

capture capture_name switch interface interface_name [ direction { both | egress | ingress } ]

VPN Features

Crypto debugging enhancements

Following are the enhancements for crypto debugging:

  • Crypto archive is now available in two formats: text and binary format.

  • Additional SSL counters.

  • Stuck encrypt rules can be removed from the ASP table without rebooting the device.

New/Modified commands:

  • show counters

Multiple Key Exchanges for IKEv2

ASA supports multiple key exchanges in IKEv2 to secure the IPsec communication from quantum computer attacks.

New/Modified commands: additional-key-exchange

Upgrade the Software
