Introduction

Cisco Security Manager and its related applications support the devices and operating system versions listed in these sections:


Note

From version 4.21 onwards, Cisco Security Manager terminates whole support, including support for any bug fixes or enhancements, for all Aggregation Service Routers, Integrated Service Routers, Embedded Service Routers, and any device operating on Cisco IOS software, including the following devices:

  • Cisco Catalyst 6500 and 7600 Series Firewall Services Modules (EOL8184)

  • Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Intrusion Detection System Services Module 2 (EOL8843)

  • Cisco Intrusion Prevention System: IPS 4200, 4300, and 4500 Series Sensors (EOL9916)

  • Cisco SR 500 Series Secure Routers (EOL7687, EOL7657)

  • PIX Firewalls (EOL)


Note
From version 4.18, Cisco Security Manager does not support SFR from ASA 9.10(1) onwards for ASA 5512, ASA 5506, ASA 5506H and ASA 5506W models.

General Device to Feature Support for Cisco Security Manager

Broadly speaking, Cisco Security Manager has these main features: device configuration, event management, report management, health and performance monitor, and image management. Table 1 explains which classes of device are supported for each feature. The exact models and software versions supported in each device class are listed in subsequent sections.

Note
Beginning with Cisco Security Manager 4.21, although ASA software enhancements and bug fixes are still supported, any hardware support for routers is not rendered, as Cisco IOS Software has reached its end of life.

IPv6 Support Summarized by Device Class and Application

Cisco Security Manager provides some support for IPv6, but only for configuring policies on a device (for example, firewall rules). Support is for traffic through the device. However, Cisco Security Manager does not support client-server communication using IPv6.

Cisco Security Manager also provides management support for ASA devices.

Table 2 summarizes IPv6 support by device class in each Cisco Security Manager application (for example, Configuration Manager).

If a particular device class has no policies that use IPv6, then the table lists “Not applicable.” The table also lists “Not applicable” for devices that are not supported at all by a particular application (for example, Image Manager supports only ASAs and ASAv’s).

For the specific policies that you can configure, see the Getting Started chapter in the User Guide for Cisco Security Manager.

Explicitly Supported Devices for Cisco Security Manager

The following table lists the devices you can manage in Cisco Security Manager. These specific models are explicitly supported, that is, Cisco Security Manager is aware of the features available on the device and recognizes the device module.


Tip
If a device model is not listed in this table, you might still be able to manage it as a generic device type. For more information, see Note.

ASA-SM on 7600 Series Routers

Note 
You must select Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series ASA Services Module as the device type to manage the ASA Services Module on a 7600 Series Router. Beginning with Cisco Security Manager 4.21, although ASA software enhancements and bug fixes are still supported, any hardware support for routers is not rendered, as Cisco IOS Software has reached its end of life.

Note
You cannot upgrade device models 5585, 5515, and 5512 to version 9.13(1), as ASA does not support them.

Generically Supported Devices for Cisco Security Manager

Cisco Security Manager can manage some device models even if the model does not appear in the supported device list. This type of generic device support relies on the fact that device features are controlled more by the software running on the device than the device model.

If you have a device that does not appear in the explicitly supported device list, you can try to manage it as a generic device using the device modules listed in the following table.

Tips

  • Because this support is generic, Cisco Security Manager cannot determine if a particular feature is not available on the specific model you are managing. You are responsible for determining if a feature that you are allowed to configure in Cisco Security Manager is not supported on the device. If you configure an unsupported feature, you will see errors when you deploy the configuration to the device.

  • If the device contains an explicitly supported module, the module is also supported. However, the module’s model must be explicitly supported: there is no generic module support.


Note
From version 4.21 onwards, Cisco Security Manager terminates whole support, including support for any bug fixes or enhancements, for all Aggregation Service Routers, Integrated Service Routers, Embedded Service Routers, and any device operating on Cisco IOS software.

Supported Software for Cisco Security Manager

Cisco Security Manager supports the software on the devices that it manages as described in ASA Supported Software Versions.

ASA Supported Software Versions

The following list describes the minimum supported software versions plus the specific release numbers that have additional support in Cisco Security Manager for devices that run operating systems. You must use a software version that meets at least the minimum required version. If you use a version that is not listed, Cisco Security Manager will treat it as one of these versions (the most closely-matching version, which is typically the release number nearest to it but lower). Any features that are unique to the version you are using are not supported in Cisco Security Manager.


Tip
The primary software support that is new in Version 4.22 of Cisco Security Manager is ASA 9.15.1.

  • Cisco ASA-5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliances (ASA)—ASA Software Release 7.0(1-2, 4-8), 7.1(1-2), 7.2(1-5), 8.0(2-3, 5), 8.1(1-2), 8.2(1-3), 8.3(1-2), 8.4(1-6), 8.5(1), 8.6(1), 9.0(1), 9.1(1-5), 9.2(1-3), 9.3(1-2), 9.4.1, 9.5(1-2), 9.6(1-2), 9.6.4, 9.7.1, 9.8(1-2), 9.9(1-2), 9.10.1, and 9.12.1.

  • The following special cases and exceptions apply to ASA software support:

  • If you upgrade a device that you are already managing in Cisco Security Manager from 8.x to 9.0(1) or higher, you must rediscover the device inventory so that Cisco Security Manager starts interpreting the device as a 9.x device and then you must rediscover the policies on the device to ensure that Cisco Security Manager looks for and discovers the appropriate policy types. Alternatively, you can delete the device from Cisco Security Manager and then add the device again.

  • If you perform one of the following upgrades to a device that you are already managing in Cisco Security Manager:

    • —from 7.x to 8.x

    • —from any lower version to 8.3(1) or higher

    • —from 8.3(x) to 8.4(2) or higher

You must rediscover the device in Cisco Security Manager. This is required due to significant policy changes between the two releases.

  • For detailed information on these scenarios, refer to the section titled “Validating a Proposed Image Update on a Device” in the User Guide for Cisco Security Manager 4.8 at the following URL:

    http:// www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/security/security-manager/products-user-guide-list.html

    • Although 8.2(4) is supported in downward compatibility mode as 8.2(3), Cisco Security Manager does support ASA 5585-X models with SSP-10 and SSP-40 running 8.2(4).

    • You cannot use Cisco Security Manager to manage SSL VPNs on ASA 7.x.

    • You cannot use Cisco Security Manager to manage an ASA 8.3+ device if you enable password encryption using the password encryption aes command. You must turn off password encryption before you can add the device to the Cisco Security Manager inventory.

    • The ASA-SM does not support any type of VPN configuration for this version. However, starting from the 9.0(1) version, ASA-SM supports VPN configurations.

    • Release 8.6(1) applies to the following Cisco ASA 5500-X based Adaptive Security Appliance models only: 5512-X, 5515-X, 5525-X, 5545-X, and 5555-X.

    • Cisco Security Manager 4.8 supports ASAv’s when you are using ASA 9.2(1) or other versions of ASA that support ASAv’s.

    • Table provides the details of the ASA platforms that are supported and not supported for ASA 9.2(1) and above.

Software Supported in Downward Compatibility Mode

Cisco Security Manager directly supports many individual point releases for the various operating systems you can use with the supported devices. When Cisco 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 Cisco Security Manager maps the release number to that supported release.

The following table lists the releases that are specifically supported in Cisco 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 Supported Software for Cisco Security Manager, Cisco 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).
