Release Notes for the Cisco ASA Series, 9.16(x)

This document contains release information for Cisco ASA software Version 9.16(x).

Important Notes

  • ASDM signed-image support in 9.16(3.19)/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)

  • SNMPv3 users using MD5 hashing and DES encryption are no longer supported, and the users will be removed when you upgrade to 9.16(1)—Be sure to change any user configuration to higher security algorithms using the snmp-server user command before you upgrade.

  • SSH host key action required in 9.16(1)—In addition to RSA, we added support for the EDDSA and ECDSA host keys for SSH. The ASA tries to use keys in the following order if they exist: EDDSA, ECDSA, and then RSA. When you upgrade to 9.16(1), the ASA will fall back to using the existing RSA key. However, we recommend that you generate higher-security keys as soon as possible using the crypto key generate {eddsa | ecdsa} command. Moreover, if you explicitly configure the ASA to use the RSA key with the ssh key-exchange hostkey rsa command, you must generate a key that is 2048 bits or higher. For upgrade compatibility, the ASA will use smaller RSA host keys only when the default host key setting is used. RSA support will be removed in a later release.

  • In 9.16 and later, certificates with RSA keys are not compatible with ECDSA ciphers—When you use the ECDHE_ECDSA cipher group, configure the trustpoint with a certificate that contains an ECDSA-capable key.

  • RSA keys using that are smaller than 2048 cannot be generated in 9.16(1)—You can no longer generate RSA keys smaller than 2048 using the crypto key generate rsa command.

    For SSH, existing smaller keys can continue to be used after upgrading, but we recommend that you upgrade to a larger size, or to a higher security key type.

    For other features, existing certificates signed with RSA key sizes smaller than 2048 cannot be used in ASA 9.16.1 and later. You can use the crypto ca permit-weak-crypto command to allow use of existing smaller keys, but even with this command, you cannot generate new smaller RSA keys..

  • ssh version command removed in 9.16(1)—This command has been removed. Only SSH version 2 is supported.

  • SAMLv1 feature removed in 9.16(1)—Support for SAMLv1 was removed.

  • No support for DH groups 2, 5, and 24 in 9.16(1)—Support has been removed for the DH groups 2, 5, and 24 in SSL DH group configuration. The ssl dh-group command has been updated to remove the command options group2, group5, and group24.

  • Cisco announces the feature deprecation for Clientless SSL VPN effective with ASA version 9.17(1)—Limited support will continue on releases prior to 9.17(1).

  • No support in ASA 9.15(1) and later for the ASA 5525-X, ASA 5545-X, and ASA 5555-X—ASA 9.14(x) is the last supported version. For the ASA FirePOWER module, the last supported version is 6.6.

  • For the Firepower 1010, invalid VLAN IDs can cause problems—Before you upgrade to 9.15(1) or later, make sure you are not using a VLAN for switch ports in the range 3968 to 4047. These IDs are for internal use only, and 9.15(1) includes a check to make sure you are not using these IDs. For example, if these IDs are in use after upgrading a failover pair, the failover pair will go into a suspended state. See CSCvw33057 for more information.

  • Chacha-poly ciphers—AnyConnect has an updated list of supported cryptographic algorithms: AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client Features, Licenses, and OSs, Release 4.10, which are proposed to the ASA when starting TLS-based VPN traffic.

System Requirements

ASDM requires a computer with a CPU with at least 4 cores. Fewer cores can result in high memory usage.

Feature

Description

Firewall Features

New Section 0 for system-defined NAT rules.

A new Section 0 has been added to the NAT rule table. This section is exclusively for the use of the system. Any NAT rules that the system needs for normal functioning are added to this section, and these rules take priority over any rules you create. Previously, system-defined rules were added to Section 1, and user-defined rules could interfere with proper system functioning. You cannot add, edit, or delete Section 0 rules, but you will see them in show nat detail command output.

The default SIP inspection policy map drops non-SIP traffic.

For SIP-inspected traffic, the default is now to drop non-SIP traffic. The previous default was to allow non-SIP traffic on ports inspected for SIP.

We changed the default SIP policy map to include the no traffic-non-sip command.

Ability to specify the IMSI prefixes to be dropped in GTP inspection.

GTP inspection lets you configure IMSI prefix filtering, to identify the Mobile Country Code/Mobile Network Code (MCC/MNC) combinations to allow. You can now do IMSI filtering on the MCC/MNC combinations that you want to drop. This way, you can list out the unwanted combinations, and default to allowing all other combinations.

We added the following command: drop mcc .

Configure the maximum segment size (MSS) for embryonic connections

You can configure a service policy to set the server maximum segment size (MSS) for SYN-cookie generation for embryonic connections upon reaching the embryonic connections limit. This is meaningful for service policies where you are also setting embryonic connection maximums.

New/Modified commands: set connection syn-cookie-mss .

Improved CPU usage and performance for many-to-one and one-to-many connections.

The system no longer creates local host objects and locks them when creating connections, except for connections that involve dynamic NAT/PAT and scanning threat detection and host statistics. This improves performance and CPU usage in situations where many connections are going to the same server (such as a load balancer or web server), or one endpoint is making connections to many remote hosts.

We changed the following commands: clear local-host (deprecated), show local-host

Platform Features

ASAv support for VMware ESXi 7.0

The ASAv virtual platform supports hosts running on VMware ESXi 7.0. New VMware hardware versions have been added to the vi.ovf and esxi.ovf files to enable optimal performance and usability of the ASAv on ESXi 7.0.

No modified commands.

No modified screens.

Intel QuickAssist Technology (QAT) on ASAv

The ASAv supports hardware crypto acceleration for ASAv deployments that use the Intel QuickAssist (QAT) 8970 PCI adapter. Hardware crypto acceleration for the ASAv using QAT is supported on VMware ESXi and KVM only.

No modified commands.

No modified screens.

ASAv on OpenStack

The ASAv virtual platform has added support for OpenStack.

No modified commands.

No modified screens.

High Availability and Scalability Features

Improved PAT port block allocation for clustering on the Firepower 4100/9300

The improved PAT port block allocation ensures that the control unit keeps ports in reserve for joining nodes, and proactively reclaims unused ports. To best optimize the allocation, you can set the maximum nodes you plan to have in the cluster using the cluster-member-limit command. The control unit can then allocate port blocks to the planned number of nodes, and it will not have to reserve ports for extra nodes you don't plan to use. The default is 16 nodes. You can also monitor syslog 747046 to ensure that there are enough ports available for a new node.

New/Modified commands: cluster-member-limit , show nat pool cluster [summary] , show nat pool ip detail

show cluster history command improvements

We have added additional outputs for the show cluster history command.

New/Modified commands: show cluster history brief , show cluster history latest , show cluster history reverse , show cluster history time

Firepower 1140 maximum contexts increased from 5 to 10

The Firepower 1140 now supports up to 10 contexts.

Certificate Features

Enrollment over Secure Transport (EST) for certification

ASA supports certificate enrollment using the Enrollment over Secure Transport (EST). However, you can configure to use EST enrollments only with RSA and ECDSA keys. You cannot use EdDSA keypair for a trustpoint configured for EST enrollment.

New/Modified commands: enrollment protocol , crypto ca authenticate , and crypto ca enroll

Support for new EdDSA key

The new key option, EdDSA, was added to the existing RSA and ECDSA options.

New/Modified commands: crypto key generate , crypto key zeroize , show crypto key mypubkey

Command to override restrictions on certificate keys

Support to use SHA1with RSA Encryption algorithm for certification and support for certificates with RSA key sizes smaller than 2048 were removed. You can use crypto ca permit-weak-crypto command to override these restrictions.

New/Modified commands: crypto ca permit-weak-crypto

Administrative and Troubleshooting Features

SSH security improvements

SSH now supports the following security improvements:

  • Host key format—crypto key generate {eddsa | ecdsa} . In addition to RSA, we added support for the EdDSA and ECDSA host keys. The ASA tries to use keys in the following order if they exist: EdDSA, ECDSA, and then RSA. If you explicitly configure the ASA to use the RSA key with the ssh key-exchange hostkey rsa command, you must generate a key that is 2048 bits or higher. For upgrade compatibility, the ASA will use smaller RSA host keys only when the default host key setting is used. RSA support will be removed in a later release.

  • Key exchange algorithms—ssh key-exchange group {ecdh-sha2-nistp256 | curve25519-sha256}

  • Encryption algorithms—ssh cipher encryption chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com

  • SSH version 1 is no longer supported—The ssh version command is removed.

New/Modified commands: crypto key generate eddsa , crypto key zeroize eddsa , show crypto key mypubkey, ssh cipher encryption chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com , ssh key-exchange group {ecdh-sha2-nistp256 | curve25519-sha256} , ssh key-exchange hostkey , ssh version

Monitoring Features

SNMPv3 Authentication

You can now use SHA-224 and SHA-384 for user authentication. You can no longer use MD5 for user authentication.

You can no longer use DES for encryption.

New/Modified commands: snmp-server user

VPN Features

Support for IPv6 on Static VTI

ASA supports IPv6 addresses in Virtual Tunnel Interfaces (VTI) configurations.

A VTI tunnel source interface can have an IPv6 address, which you can configure to use as the tunnel endpoint. If the tunnel source interface has multiple IPv6 addresses, you can specify which address to be used, else the first IPv6 global address in the list is used by default.

The tunnel mode can be either IPv4 or IPv6, but it must be the same as IP address type configured on VTI for the tunnel to be active. An IPv6 address can be assigned to the tunnel source or the tunnel destination interface in a VTI.

New/Modified commands: tunnel source interface , tunnel destination , tunnel mode

Support for 1024 VTI interfaces per device

The number of maximum VTIs to be configured on a device has been increased from 100 to 1024.

Even if a platform supports more than 1024 interfaces, the VTI count is limited to the number of VLANs configurable on that platform. For example, ASA 5510 supports 100 VLANs, the tunnel count would be 100 minus the number of physical interfaces configured.

New/Modified commands: None

Support for DH group 15 in SSL

Support has been added for DH group 15 for SSL encryption.

New/Modified commands: ssl dh-group group15

Support for DH group 31 for IPsec encryption

Support has been added for DH group 31 for IPsec encryption.

New/Modified commands: set pfs

Support to limit the SA in IKEv2 queue

Support has been added to limit the number of queues in SA-INIT packets.

New/Modified commands: crypto ikev2 limit queue sa_init

Option to clear IPsec statistics

CLIs have been introduced to clear and reset IPsec statistics.

New/Modified commands: clear crypto ipsec stats and clear ipsec stats
