Note
Before you upgrade to ASA Version 8.3, be sure to see the Cisco ASA 5500 Migration Guide for Version 8.3. The following major changes require configuration migration:
•
NAT redesign.
•
Real IP addresses in access rules instead of mapped addresses.
•
Named network objects and service objects.
Important Notes
•
Maximum configuration size—ASDM supports up to a maximum of a 512 KB configuration. If you exceed this amount, you may experience performance issues when you exceed the 512KB configuration.
•
Memory requirements—To run Version 8.3 in a production environment, you need to upgrade the memory on the Cisco ASA 5505, 5510, 5520, or 5540. See the ASA release notes for more information. If you do not install a memory upgrade, you receive the following message upon logging in:
.
•
ASDM Launcher Upgrade Failure—Upgrading from a previous version of ASDM, such as ASDM 6.1.5.51, which includes ASDM Launcher 1.5.30, sometimes fails in the following two ways on Windows XP or Vista:
–
CSCsy75722: When using the ASDM Launcher to upgrade a Launcher installer wizard appears. After clicking the Install button on the Ready to Install the Program dialog, the status bar does not progress and a Cisco ASDM-IDM Launcher Installer Information dialog appears with the following: "The system cannot open the device or file specified". Pressing Retry does not help.
–
CSCsz35267: When using a web browser, clicking the "Install ASDM Launcher and Run ASDM" button downloads the dm-launcher.msi installer.
Running dm-launcher.msi may produce an error 1307 or 1316 dialog giving the full pathname of the file that either cannot be found or for which a network error occurred.
Workaround: To recover from such events, use the Add or Remove Programs control panel to remove the Cisco ASDM Launcher or Cisco ASDM-IDM Launcher. (Any of the ASDM on IP address programs do not need to be removed.) Afterwards, evoke a web browser; access ASDM with a URL such as https://ip_address/admin; and install the new ASDM-IDM Launcher with the "Install ASDM Launcher and Run ASDM" button.

Supported Platforms
See Cisco ASA 5500 Series and PIX 500 Series Security Appliance Hardware and Software Compatibility for the minimum supported version of ASDM for each ASA and SSM version.

Note
ASDM 6.3(1) and above is not supported on the PIX platforms. The last ASDM version supported on the PIX is 6.1(5).
Although ASDM 6.3 supports many ASA versions, the ASDM 6.3 documentation and online help only include features for ASA 8.3. For older ASA versions, you might find that using the ASDM 6.3 documentation is inaccurate for your older feature set. Instead, refer to the ASDM guide in which support for your platform version was added (to see when support was added, see Cisco ASA 5500 Series and PIX 500 Series Security Appliance Hardware and Software Compatibility for the minimum supported version of ASDM for each ASA version; this version is the one where support was added). Although the specific information about the ASDM GUI might be inaccurate in that guide, the platform feature set is documented correctly.
New Features
Hi
Table 2 lists the new features for ASDM Version 6.3(1). All features apply only to ASA Version 8.3(1), unless otherwise noted.

Description
|
Remote Access Features
|
Smart Tunnel Enhancements
|
Logoff enhancement—Smart tunnel can now be logged off when all browser windows have been closed (parent affinity), or you can right click the notification icon in the system tray and confirm log out.
Tunnel Policy—An administrator can dictate which connections go through the VPN gateway and which do not. An end user can browse the Internet directly while accessing company internal resources with smart tunnel if the administrator chooses.
Simplified configuration of which applications to tunnel—When a smart tunnel is required, a user no longer needs to configure a list of processes that can access smart tunnel and in turn access certain web pages. An "enable smart tunnel" check box for either a bookmark or standalone application allows for an easier configuration process.
Group policy home page—Using a check box in ASDM, administrators can now specify their home page in group policy in order to connect via smart tunnel.
The following screen was modified: Configuration > Remote Access VPN > AAA/Local Users > Local Users > Edit > VPN Policy > Clientless SSL VPN.
|
Newly Supported Platforms for Browser-based VPN
|
Release 8.3(1) provides browser-based (clientless) VPN access from the following newly supported platforms:
• Windows 7 x86 (32-bit) and x64 (64-bit) via Internet Explorer 8.x and Firefox 3.x
• Windows Vista x64 via Internet Explorer 7.x/8.x, or Firefox 3.x.
• Windows XP x64 via Internet Explorer 6.x/7.x/8.x and Firefox 3.x
• Mac OS 10.6 32- and 64-bit via Safari 4.x and Firefox 3.x.
Firefox 2.x is likely to work, although we no longer test it.
Release 8.3(1) introduces browser-based support for 64-bit applications on Mac OS 10.5.
Release 8.3(1) now supports smart tunnel access on all 32-bit and 64-bit Windows and Mac OSs supported for browser-based VPN access. Port forwarding on 64-bit OSs is not supported.
Browser-based VPN access does not support Windows Shares (CIFS) Web Folders on Windows 7, Vista, and Internet Explorer 8. An ActiveX version of the RDP plug-in is unavailable for 64-bit browsers.
Note Windows 2000 and Mac OS X 10.4 are no longer supported for browser-based access.
|
IPv6 support for IKEv1 LAN-to-LAN VPN connections
|
For LAN-to-LAN connections using mixed IPv4 and IPv6 addressing, or all IPv6 addressing, the security appliance supports VPN tunnels if both peers are Cisco ASA 5500 series security appliances, and if both inside networks have matching addressing schemes (both IPv4 or both IPv6).
Specifically, the following topologies are supported when both peers are Cisco ASA 5500 series adaptive security appliances:
• The adaptive security appliances have IPv4 inside networks and the outside network is IPv6 (IPv4 addresses on the inside interfaces and IPv6 addresses on the outside interfaces).
• The adaptive security appliances have IPv6 inside networks and the outside network is IPv4 (IPv6 addresses on the inside interface and IPv4 addresses on the outside interfaces).
• The adaptive security appliances have IPv6 inside networks and the outside network is IPv6 (IPv6 addresses on the inside and outside interfaces).
Note The defect CSCtd38078 currently prevents the Cisco ASA 5500 series from connecting to a Cisco IOS device as the peer device of a LAN-to-LAN connection.
The following screens were modified or introduced:
Wizards > IPsec VPN Wizard, Configuration > Site-to-Site VPN > Connection Profiles Configuration > Site-to-Site VPN > Connection Profiles > Basic > Add IPsec Site-to-Site Connection Profile Configuration > Site-to-Site VPN > Group Policies Configuration > Site-to-Site VPN > Group Policies > Edit Internal Group Policy Configuration > Site-to-Site VPN > Advanced > Crypto Maps Configuration > Site-to-Site VPN > Advanced > Crypto Maps > Add > Create IPsec Rule Configuration > Site-to-Site VPN > Advanced > ACL Manager
|
Plug-in for AnyConnect Profile Editor
|
The AnyConnect Profile Editor is a convenient GUI-based configuration tool you can use to configure the AnyConnect 2.5 or above client profile, an XML file containing settings that control client features. Previously, you could only change profile settings manually by editing the XML tags in the profile file. The AnyConnect Profile Editor is a plug-in binary file named anyconnectprof.sgz packaged with the ASDM image and installed in the root directory of disk0:/ in the flash memory on the security appliance. This design allows you to update the editor to be compatible with new AnyConnect features available in new client releases.
|
SSL VPN Portal Customization Editor
|
You can rebrand and customize the screens presented to clientless SSL VPN users using the new Edit Customization Object window in ASDM. You can customize the logon, portal and logout screens, including corporate logos, text messages, and the general layout. Previously, the customization feature was embedded in the security appliance software image. Moving it to ASDM provides greater usability for this feature and future enhancements.
The following screen was modified: Configuration > Remote Access VPN > Clientless SSL VPN Access > Portal > Customization.
|
Usability Improvements for Remote Access VPN
|
ASDM provides a step-by-step guide to configuring Clientless SSL VPN, AnyConnect SSL VPN Remote Access, or IPsec Remote Access using the ASDM Assistant. The ASDM Assistant is more comprehensive than the VPN wizards, which are designed only to get you up and running.
The following screen was modified: Configuration > Remote Access VPN > Introduction > ASDM Assistant.
|
Firewall Features
|
Interface-Independent Access Policies
|
You can now configure access rules that are applied globally, as well as access rules that are applied to an interface. If the configuration specifies both a global access policy and interface-specific access policies, the interface-specific policies are evaluated before the global policy.
The following screen was modified: Configuration > Firewall > Access Rules.
|
Network and Service Objects
|
You can now create named network objects that you can use in place of a host, a subnet, or a range of IP addresses in your configuration and named service objects that you can use in place of a protocol and port in your configuration. You can then change the object definition in one place, without having to change any other part of your configuration. This release introduces support for network and service objects in the following features:
• NAT
• Access rules
• Network object groups
Note ASDM used network objects internally in previous releases; this feature introduces platform support for network objects.
The following screens were modified or introduced:
Configuration > Firewall > Objects > Network Objects/Groups, Configuration > Firewall > Objects > Service Objects/Groups Configuration > Firewall > NAT Rules, Configuration > Firewall > Access Rules
|
Object-group Expansion Rule Reduction
|
Significantly reduces the network object-group expansion while maintaining a satisfactory level of packet classification performance.
The following screen was modified: Configuration > Firewall > Access Rules > Advanced.
|
NAT Simplification
|
The NAT configuration was completely redesigned to allow greater flexibility and ease of use. You can now configure NAT using auto NAT, where you configure NAT as part of the attributes of a network object, and manual NAT, where you can configure more advanced NAT options.
The following screens were modified or introduced:
Configuration > Firewall > Objects > Network Objects/Group Configuration > Firewall > NAT Rules
|
Use of Real IP addresses in access lists instead of translated addresses
|
When using NAT, mapped addresses are no longer required in an access list for many features. You should always use the real, untranslated addresses when configuring these features. Using the real address means that if the NAT configuration changes, you do not need to change the access lists.
The following features that use access lists now use real IP addresses. These features are automatically migrated to use real IP addresses when you upgrade to 8.3, unless otherwise noted.
• Access rules
• Service policy rules
• Botnet Traffic Filter
• AAA rules
• WCCP redirect.
Note WCCP is not automatically migrated when you upgrade to 8.3.
|
Threat Detection Enhancements
|
You can now customize the number of rate intervals for which advanced statistics are collected. The default number of rates was changed from 3 to 1. For basic statistics, advanced statistics, and scanning threat detection, the memory usage was improved.
The following screen was modified: Configuration > Firewall > Threat Detection.
|
Unified Communication Features
|
SCCP v19 support
|
The IP phone support in the Cisco Phone Proxy feature was enhanced to include support for version 19 of the SCCP protocol on the list of supported IP phones.
|
Cisco Intercompany Media Engine Proxy
|
Cisco Intercompany Media Engine (UC-IME) enables companies to interconnect on-demand, over the Internet with advanced features made available by VoIP technologies. Cisco Intercompany Media Engine allows for business-to-business federation between Cisco Unified Communications Manager clusters in different enterprises by utilizing peer-to-peer, security, and SIP protocols to create dynamic SIP trunks between businesses. A collection of enterprises work together to end up looking like one large business with inter-cluster trunks between them.
The following screens were modified or introduced:
Wizards > Unified Communications Wizard > Cisco Intercompany Media Engine Proxy Configuration > Firewall > Unified Communications, and then click UC-IME Proxy Configuration > Firewall > Service Policy Rules > Add/Edit Service Policy Rule > Rule Actions > Select SIP Inspection Map
|
SIP Inspection Support for IME
|
SIP inspection has been enhance to support the new Cisco Intercompany Media Engine (UC-IME) Proxy.
The following screen was modified: Configuration > Firewall > Service Policy Rules > Add/Edit Service Policy Rule > Rule Actions > Select SIP Inspection Map.
|
Unified Communication Wizard
|
The Unified Communications Wizard guides you through the complete configuration and automatically configures required aspects for the following proxies: Cisco Mobility Advantage Proxy, Cisco Presence Federation Proxy, Cisco Intercompany Media Engine proxy. Additionally, the Unified Communications wizard automatically configures other required aspects of the proxies.
The following screens were modified:
Wizards > Unified Communications Wizard Configuration > Firewall > Unified Communications
|
Enhanced Navigation for Unified Communication Features
|
The Unified Communications proxy features, such as the Phone Proxy, TLS Proxy, CTL File, and CTL Provider pages, are moved from under the Objects category in the left Navigation panel. to the new Unified Communications category. In addition, this new category contains pages for the new Unified Communications wizard and the UC-IME Proxy page.
Note This feature applies to ASA Version 8.0 and above.
|
| |
The following screen was modified: Configuration > Device Setup > Interfaces > Add/Edit Interface > General.
|
Routing Features
|
Route map support
|
ASDM has added enhanced support for static and dynamic routes.
The following screen was modified: Configuration > Device Setup > Routing > Route Maps.
Note This feature applies to ASA Version 8.0 and above.
|
Monitoring Features
|
Time Stamps for Access List Hit Counts
|
Displays the timestamp, along with the hash value and hit count, for a specified access list.
The following screen was modified: Configuration > Firewall > Access Rules. (The timestamp appears when you hover the mouse over a cell in the Hits column.)
|
High Performance Monitoring for ASDM
|
You can now enable high performance monitoring for ASDM to show the top 200 hosts connected through the adaptive security appliance. Each entry of a host contains the IP address of the host and the number of connections initiated by the host, and is updated every 120 seconds.
The following screen was introduced: Home > Firewall Dashboard > Top 200 Hosts.
|
Licensing Features
|
Non-identical failover licenses
|
Failover licenses no longer need to be identical on each unit. The license used for both units is the combined license from the primary and secondary units.
Note For the ASA 5505 and 5510 adaptive security appliances, both units require the Security Plus license; the Base license does not support failover, so you cannot enable failover on a standby unit that only has the Base license.
The following screen was modified: Configuration > Device Management > Licensing > Activation Key.
|
Stackable time-based licenses
|
Time-based licenses are now stackable. In many cases, you might need to renew your time-based license and have a seamless transition from the old license to the new one. For features that are only available with a time-based license, it is especially important that the license not expire before you can apply the new license. The adaptive security appliance allows you to stack time-based licenses so you do not have to worry about the license expiring or about losing time on your licenses because you installed the new one early. For licenses with numerical tiers, stacking is only supported for licenses with the same capacity, for example, two 1000-session SSL VPN licenses. You can view the state of the licenses at Configuration > Device Management > Licensing > Activation Key.
|
Intercompany Media Engine License
|
The IME license was introduced.
|
Multiple time-based licenses active at the same time
|
You can now install multiple time-based licenses, and have one license per feature active at a time.
The following screen was modified: Configuration > Device Management > Licensing > Activation Key.
|
Discrete activation and deactivation of time-based licenses.
|
You can now activate or deactivate time-based licenses using a command.
The following command was modified: activation-key [activate | deactivate].
The following screen was modified: Configuration > Device Management > Licensing > Activation Key.
|
General Features
|
Master Passphrase
|
The master passphrase feature allows you to securely store plain text passwords in encrypted format. It provides a master key that is used to universally encrypt or mask all passwords, without changing any functionality. The Backup/Restore feature supports the master passphrase.
The following screens were introduced:
Configuration > Device Management > Advanced > Master Passphrase Configuration > Device Management > Device Administration > Master Passphrase
|
ASDM Features
|
Upgrade Software from Cisco.com Wizard
|
The Upgrade Software from Cisco.com wizard has changed to allow you to automatically upgrade ASDM and the adaptive security appliance to more current versions. Note that this feature is only available in single mode and, in multiple context mode, in the System execution space. It is not available in a context.
The following screen was modified: Tools > Check for ASA/ASDM Updates.
Note This feature applies to ASA Version 8.0 and above.
|
Backup/Restore Enhancements
|
The Backup Configurations pane was re-ordered and re-grouped so you can choose the files you want to backup more easily. A Backup Progress pane was added allowing you to visually measure the progress of the backup. And you will see significant performance improvement when using backup or restore.
The following screen was modified: Tools > Backup Configurations or Tools > Restore Configurations.
Note This feature applies to ASA Version 8.0 and above.
|
Upgrading the Software
Note
Before you upgrade, be sure to see the Cisco ASA 5500 Migration Guide for Version 8.3. The following major changes require configuration migration:
•
NAT redesign.
•
Real IP addresses in access rules instead of mapped addresses.
•
Named network objects and service objects.
The Cisco ASA 5500 Migration Guide for Version 8.3 also describes how to downgrade.
This section describes how to upgrade to the latest version, and includes the following topics:
•
Viewing Your Current Version
•
Upgrading the Operating System and ASDM Images

Unsupported Commands
ASDM supports almost all commands available for the adaptive adaptive security appliance, but ASDM ignores some commands in an existing configuration. Most of these commands can remain in your configuration; see Tools > Show Commands Ignored by ASDM on Device for more information.
This section includes the following topics:
•
Ignored and View-Only Commands
•
Effects of Unsupported Commands
•
Discontinuous Subnet Masks Not Supported
•
Interactive User Commands Not Supported by the ASDM CLI Tool
Ignored and View-Only Commands
Table 3 lists commands that ASDM supports in the configuration when added through the CLI, but that cannot be added or edited in ASDM. If ASDM ignores the command, it does not appear in the ASDM GUI at all. If the command is view-only, then it appears in the GUI, but you cannot edit it.

Effects of Unsupported Commands
If ASDM loads an existing running configuration and finds other unsupported commands, ASDM operation is unaffected. To view the unsupported commands, choose Tools > Show Commands Ignored by ASDM on Device.
Discontinuous Subnet Masks Not Supported
ASDM does not support discontinuous subnet masks such as 255.255.0.255. For example, you cannot use the following:
ip address inside 192.168.2.1 255.255.0.255
Interactive User Commands Not Supported by the ASDM CLI Tool
The ASDM CLI tool does not support interactive user commands. If you enter a CLI command that requires interactive confirmation, ASDM prompts you to enter "[yes/no]" but does not recognize your input. ASDM then times out waiting for your response.
For example:
1.
From the ASDM Tools menu, click Command Line Interface.
2.
Enter the crypto key generate rsa command.
ASDM generates the default 1024-bit RSA key.
3.
Enter the crypto key generate rsa command again.
Instead of regenerating the RSA keys by overwriting the previous one, ASDM displays the following error:
Do you really want to replace them? [yes/no]:WARNING: You already have RSA
ke0000000000000$A key
Input line must be less than 16 characters in length.
%Please answer 'yes' or 'no'.
Do you really want to replace them [yes/no]:
%ERROR: Timed out waiting for a response.
ERROR: Failed to create new RSA keys names <Default-RSA-key>
Workaround:
•
You can configure most commands that require user interaction by means of the ASDM panes.
•
For CLI commands that have a noconfirm option, use this option when entering the CLI command. For example:
crypto key generate rsa noconfirm
