ASA IOS versions? Difference in Trains?

Aug 07, 2007 3 Replies

Hello,



What are the differences in the ASA IOS versions 7.0.x 7.1.x and



7.2.x .. Whats the differences in all 3?

I know for sure that the 7.0.x train is the most stable, but then what are the other trains for? I cant locate a Cisco page outlining such info. Any help is appreciated!

As a matter of terminology: ASA doesn't use IOS, and its versions are called releases, not trains.

Each release introduced new features and sometimes new hardware. See

formatting link
under each version, there is a Release Notes link.

Walter,

Correct about the terminology, but Cisco does call them trains, its another way of saying releases, group, etc. Dont be so snooty, I'm not as knowing as you. Arent we all talking as co-parts (buddies) on this list?

Moving forward.. Should I stick with the 7.0.x releases for my ASA

5520 and SSM module?

I have reviewed the release notes, but there isnt any definitive description of differences in each set of releases, with respect to digit release (7.0.x 7.1.x 7.2.x). So would going to the 7.2.2 hurt me if I loaded if onto my ASA 5520 which came with 7.0.(7).

Just asking simple questions Walter :-) Sorry if I annoyed you in any way.

Thanks

GNY
