Introduction


Note The PIX 501, PIX 506/506E, and PIX 520 security appliances are not supported in software Version 7.1.


The Cisco PIX 500 series security appliance delivers unprecedented levels of defense against threats to the network with deeper web inspection and flow-specific analysis, improved secure connectivity through end-point security posture validation and voice and video over VPN support. It also provides enhanced support for intelligent information networks through improved network integration, resiliency, and scalability. This release introduces significant enhancements to all major functional areas, including: firewalling and inspection services, VPN services, network integration, high-availability services, and management/monitoring.

For more information on all the new features, see New Features

Additionally, the security appliance software supports ASDM. ASDM is a browser-based, Java applet used to configure and monitor the software on the security appliances. ASDM is loaded from the security appliance, then used to configure, monitor, and manage the device.

System Requirements

The sections that follow list the system requirements for operating a security appliance.


Note The PIX 501, PIX 506/506E, and PIX 520 security appliances are not supported in software Version 7.1.


Memory Requirements

If you are using a PIX 515/515E running PIX Version 6.2/6.3, you need to upgrade your memory before performing an upgrade to PIX Version 7.0. PIX Version 7.0 requires at least 64 MB of RAM for Restricted (R) licenses and 128 MB of RAM for Unrestricted (UR) and Failover (FO) licenses. The following security appliance platforms require at least 64 MB of RAM. Table 1 lists Flash memory requirements for Version 7.1.

Table 1 Flash Memory Requirements 

Security Appliance Model
Flash Memory Required in Version 7.1

PIX 515/515E

16 MB

PIX 525

16 MB

PIX 535

16 MB


For more information on minimum memory requirements, see "Minimum Memory Requirements" section in the Guide for Cisco PIX 6.2 and 6.3 Users Upgrading to Cisco PIX Software Version 7.0.

Software Requirements

Version 7.1(1) requires the following:

1. The minimum software version required before performing an upgrade to PIX Version 7.1 is PIX Version 7.0. If you are running a PIX release prior to PIX Version 6.2, you must first upgrade to PIX Version 6.2 or PIX Version 6.3 before you can begin the upgrade to PIX Version 7.0.

To upgrade your PIX software image, go to the following website: http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/pix

2. For information on specific licenses supported on each model of the security appliance, go to the following websites: www.cisco.com/go/license

3. If you are upgrading from a previous PIX version, save your configuration and write down your activation key and serial number. See the "http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/pix" for new installation requirements.

Maximum Recommended Configuration File Size

For the PIX 525 and PIX 535, the maximum supported configuration file size is 2 MB for Version 7.1(1). For the PIX 515/515E, the maximum supported configuration file size is 1 MB for Version 7.1(1). If you are using ASDM, we recommend no more than a 500 KB configuration file because larger configuration files can interfere with the performance of ASDM on your workstation.

While configuration files up to 2 MB are supported on the PIX 525 and PIX 535, be aware that such large configuration files can reduce system performance. For example, a large configuration file is likely to noticeably slow execution times in the following situations:

While executing commands such as the write terminal and show running-config commands

Failover (the configuration synchronization time)

During a system reload

http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/pix

If you want to upgrade or downgrade from Version 7.0.(x) to 7.1(1) and vice versa You must follow the steps below because older versions of the security appliance images does not recognize new ASDM images, new security appliance images does not recognize old ASDM images.

To upgrade from Version 7.0.(x) to 7.1(1), you must perform the following steps:


Step 1 Load the new Version 7.1(1) image from the following website: http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/asa

Step 2 Reload the device so that it will start using the Version 7.1(1) image.

Step 3 Copy new ASDM Version 5.1(1) image from the following website: http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/asa.


To downgrade from Version 7.1(1) to 7.0.(x), you must perform the following steps:

New Features

Version 7.1(1) is a maintenance release which includes several caveat resolutions.

Important Notes

Important Notes in Release 7.1

This section lists important notes related to Version 7.1(1).

Maximum Security Contexts and VLANs Supported

The maximum security contexts supported in release 7.1(1) for the PIX 535 are 50 tiers. The maximum number of VLANs supported are 150. For more information on the feature support for each platform license, see the "Platform Feature Licenses" section in the Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide

IKE Delete-with-Reason

IKE syslogs for Delete-with-Reason will not contain the reason text unless the clients support this feature. Currently the VPN 3002 Version 4.7 and PIX 501 Version 6.3(4) hardware clients do not support this feature.


Note The PIX 501security appliance is not supported in software Version 7.1.


User Upgrade Guide

Before upgrading to Version 7.1(1), read the Guide for Cisco PIX 6.2 and 6.3 Users Upgrading in Cisco PIX Software Version 7.0. This guide also includes information about deprecated features and other changes in the Cisco PIX Software Version7.0. For a list of deprecated features, and user upgrade information, go to the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/iaabu/pix/pix_sw/v_70/pix_upgd/index.htm


Caution If you share the Stateful Failover update link with a link for regular traffic such as your inside interface, you must change your configuration before upgrading. Do not upgrade until you have corrected your configuration, as this is not a supported configuration and Version 7.1(1) treats the LAN failover and Stateful Failover update interfaces as special interfaces. If you upgrade to Version 7.1(1) with a configuration that shares an interface for both regular traffic and the Stateful Failover updates, configuration related to the regular traffic interface will be lost after the upgrade. The lost configuration may prevent you from connecting to the security appliance over the network.

Readme Document for the Conduits and Outbound List Conversion Tool 1.2

The security appliance Outbound/Conduit Conversion tool assists in converting configurations with outbound or conduit commands to similar configurations using ACLs. ACL-based configurations provide uniformity and leverage the powerful ACL feature set. ACL based configurations provide the following benefits:

ACE insertion capability - System configuration and management is greatly simplified by the ACE insertion capability that allows users to add, delete or modify individual ACEs.

Outbound ACLs and Time-based ACLs - Gives administrators improved flexibility for defining access control policies by adding support for outbound ACLs and time-based ACLs.

Enabling/Disabling of ACL Entries - Provides a convenient troubleshooting tool that allows administrators to test and fine-tune ACLs, without the need to remove and replace ACL entries.

Features not Supported in Version 7.1

The following features are not supported in Version7.1(1) release:

PPPoE

L2TP over IPSec

PPTP

MIB Supported

For information on MIB Support, go to:

http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/netmgmt/cmtk/mibs.shtml

Downgrade to Previous Version

To downgrade to a previous version of the operating system software (software image), use the downgrade command in privileged EXEC mode.

For more information and a complete description of the command syntax, see the Cisco Security Appliance Command Reference.


Caution Do not load a previous version of software if your PIX security appliance is currently running PIX Version 7.0 or later. Loading a software image from monitor mode, on a PIX security appliance that has a PIX Version 7.0 file system, results in unpredictable behavior and is not supported. We strongly recommend that you use the downgrade command from a running PIX Version 7.0 image that facilitates the downgrade process.

Cisco Product Security Overview

Cisco provides a free online Security Vulnerability Policy portal at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/products_security_vulnerability_policy.html

From this site, you will find information about how to:

Report security vulnerabilities in Cisco products.

Obtain assistance with security incidents that involve Cisco products.

Register to receive security information from Cisco.

A current list of security advisories, security notices, and security responses for Cisco products is available at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/go/psirt

To see security advisories, security notices, and security responses as they are updated in real time, you can subscribe to the Product Security Incident Response Team Really Simple Syndication (PSIRT RSS) feed. Information about how to subscribe to the PSIRT RSS feed is found at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/products_psirt_rss_feed.html

Reporting Security Problems in Cisco Products

Cisco is committed to delivering secure products. We test our products internally before we release them, and we strive to correct all vulnerabilities quickly. If you think that you have identified a vulnerability in a Cisco product, contact PSIRT:

For Emergencies only — security-alert@cisco.com

An emergency is either a condition in which a system is under active attack or a condition for which a severe and urgent security vulnerability should be reported. All other conditions are considered nonemergencies.

For Nonemergencies — psirt@cisco.com

In an emergency, you can also reach PSIRT by telephone:

1 877 228-7302

1 408 525-6532


Tip We encourage you to use Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) or a compatible product (for example, GnuPG) to encrypt any sensitive information that you send to Cisco. PSIRT can work with information that has been encrypted with PGP versions 2.x through 9.x.

Never use a revoked or an expired encryption key. The correct public key to use in your correspondence with PSIRT is the one linked in the Contact Summary section of the Security Vulnerability Policy page at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/products_security_vulnerability_policy.html

The link on this page has the current PGP key ID in use.

If you do not have or use PGP, contact PSIRT at the aforementioned e-mail addresses or phone numbers before sending any sensitive material to find other means of encrypting the data.


Obtaining Technical Assistance

Cisco Technical Support provides 24-hour-a-day award-winning technical assistance. The Cisco Technical Support & Documentation website on Cisco.com features extensive online support resources. In addition, if you have a valid Cisco service contract, Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) engineers provide telephone support. If you do not have a valid Cisco service contract, contact your reseller.

Cisco Technical Support & Documentation Website

The Cisco Technical Support & Documentation website provides online documents and tools for troubleshooting and resolving technical issues with Cisco products and technologies. The website is available 24 hours a day, at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/techsupport

Access to all tools on the Cisco Technical Support & Documentation website requires a Cisco.com user ID and password. If you have a valid service contract but do not have a user ID or password, you can register at this URL:

http://tools.cisco.com/RPF/register/register.do


Note Use the Cisco Product Identification (CPI) tool to locate your product serial number before submitting a web or phone request for service. You can access the CPI tool from the Cisco Technical Support & Documentation website by clicking the Tools & Resources link under Documentation & Tools. Choose Cisco Product Identification Tool from the Alphabetical Index drop-down list, or click the Cisco Product Identification Tool link under Alerts & RMAs. The CPI tool offers three search options: by product ID or model name; by tree view; or for certain products, by copying and pasting show command output. Search results show an illustration of your product with the serial number label location highlighted. Locate the serial number label on your product and record the information before placing a service call.


Submitting a Service Request

Using the online TAC Service Request Tool is the fastest way to open S3 and S4 service requests. (S3 and S4 service requests are those in which your network is minimally impaired or for which you require product information.) After you describe your situation, the TAC Service Request Tool provides recommended solutions. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your service request is assigned to a Cisco engineer. The TAC Service Request Tool is located at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/servicerequest

For S1 or S2 service requests, or if you do not have Internet access, contact the Cisco TAC by telephone. (S1 or S2 service requests are those in which your production network is down or severely degraded.) Cisco engineers are assigned immediately to S1 and S2 service requests to help keep your business operations running smoothly.

To open a service request by telephone, use one of the following numbers:

Asia-Pacific: +61 2 8446 7411 (Australia: 1 800 805 227)
EMEA: +32 2 704 55 55
USA: 1 800 553-2447

For a complete list of Cisco TAC contacts, go to this URL:

Definitions of Service Request Severity

To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity definitions.

Severity 1 (S1)—An existing network is down, or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.

Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operations are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.

Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of the network is impaired, while most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.

Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
