Guidelines and Limitations
This section includes the guidelines and limitations for this feature.
Context Mode Guidelines
Supported in single and multiple context modes.
Firewall Mode Guidelines
Supported in routed and transparent modes.
Failover Guidelines
Does not support sessions in Stateful Failover. The CSC SSM does not maintain connection information,
and therefore cannot provide the failover unit with the required information. The connections that a CSC
SSM is scanning are dropped when the adaptive security appliance in which the CSC SSM is installed
fails. When the standby adaptive security appliance becomes active, it forwards the scanned traffic to the
CSC SSM and the connections are reset.
IPv6 Guidelines
Does not support IPv6.
Model Guidelines
Supported on the ASA 5510, ASA 5520, and ASA 5540 only.
Default Settings
