What’s New

Cisco Firepower eXtensible Operating System 1.1(2) introduces the following new features:

■Firepower Chassis Manager now provides a Security Modules page from which you can view the status of the installed security modules and can perform the following functions on those security modules: decommission/recommission, acknowledge, power cycle, reinitialize, and power off/on the security module.

Important Notes

■To use ASDM and other strong encryption features such as VPN, after you deploy the cluster you must enable the Strong Encryption (3DES) license on the master unit using the ASA CLI.

■If you encounter any issues with accessing the ASA console, we recommend that you switch to a different SSH client or upgrade to a newer version.
