Dear Friends,

I have ASA 5510 firewall. the hardware support will end in 2018 and the last supported IOS version is 9.1 as per the below link. 

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/security/asa-5500-series-next-generation-firewalls/eol_C51-727283.html

However,  i just want to know that what is the last maintenance support date for the IOS 9.1. Am i able to get Cisco patches for IOS 9.1 till 2018?

Thank You 

Parkar.

Hi,

Let's say a few words about the version codes.

For example if we take the version 9.1.6.x

The different numbers mean as follows:

9 - Major Release
1 - Minor Release
6 - Maintenance Release
x - Interim release

The Interim releases contain bug fixes which address specific issues found since the last Feature or Maintenance release.
They will remain on the download site only until the next Maintenance release is available.

So, as it was mentioned above the latest Maintenance Release supported on your device was 9.1.6. The latest Interim release available for download is 9.1.6.10. It was released on 11-JUN-2015.

For more details you could visit the download section on:

scenario 1: if there are maintenance release till 2018 for IOS 9.1. i will continue with the same hardware. (asa 5510).

Scenario 2: if there is  no maintenance release for IOS 9.1 till 2018 as compared to hardware support. i will go for the new hardware ( asa 5512).

in my first post i have mentioned the EOL link for ASA 5510.

Hi,

The EOL of the version 9.1 has not been announced, so new  Maintenance releases might be expected to be issued.

You could be updated about the EOL specific details on:
