Hello,

I am configuring a Cisco 2120 firewall via asdm and get an error when updating the cipher. Unable to update ciphers.

What would cause this error?

The most common cause is that your Smart License registration token was not flagged to allow export controlled features. As a result, any devices using the license registered using that token will be restricted from using strong crypto. You can re-register with a new license token and make sure to click the check box to enable export-controlled features when doing so.

This is equivalent to a traditional ASA not having the 3DES-AES activation key. ASAv and ASA on Firepower hardware use Smart license instead.
