ASA Support Specifics
Firewall Manager can manage all platforms running currently supported code versions, including ASAv instances, except for the ASA Services Module (ASASM), which is not supported by Firewall Manager.
|
We do not test end-of-life ASA code versions and do not recommend using them in production. For optimal results, we suggest using the currently supported ASA code versions. Additionally, ASA 8.3 is not supported with the new policy view. |
There may be a Firewall Manager feature that does not support all versions of ASA. In those cases, the Firewall Manager documentation will list any version exceptions with the prerequisites for that feature.
Firewall Manager does not manage the ASA FirePOWER module, which runs a different operating system from ASA. You must manage an ASA FirePOWER module separately with Firepower Management Center or ASDM.

EOL code and hardware may continue work with Firewall Manager, but we cannot assure all functionality of Firewall Manager with respect to EOL code and hardware, as it is not part of our testing. Firewall Manager makes no guarantees nor assurances of correct operation with EOL software and hardware. An example of this would be the EOL ASA versions 8.x, 9.1, and 9.2 do not support TLS 1.2 on the management plane and would be considered an insecure way to manage ASA software. Please defer to the version download page for Cisco "suggested release" or "gold star" versions. |
