Solved: ASA 5508-x - End of SW Maintenance (EoSW) final date

PacketSpartan · ‎10-26-2021

This might be a simple question but one of our customers has an ASA 5508 with Firepower services, I've looked online and i can't quite make out when this version of hardware will stop getting software updates.

EOS has already been announced.

The hardware EoS is the only bit that's been announced. As far as software, it will support ASA software at least through ASA 9.16(x) which is the current release. Any 9.16 updates will work on it.

As far as Firepower services, it will support through the current 7.0.x (which is an extra long term release). The upcoming Firepower 7.1 (for either Firepower service module or FTD image) will not be supported on ASA hardware of any kind.
