New Features in ASA 9.0(1)/ASDM 7.0(1)
Released: October 29, 2012
Table 1-5 lists the new features for ASA Version 9.0(1)/ASDM Version 7.0(1).
Note Features added in 8.4(4.x), 8.4(5), and 8.4(6) are not included in 9.0(1) unless they are explicitly listed 
in this table.
Improved Host Scan and 
ASA Interoperability
Host Scan and the ASA use an improved process to transfer posture attributes from the client 
to the ASA. This gives the ASA more time to establish a VPN connection with the client and 
apply a dynamic access policy.
This feature is not available in 8.5(1), 8.6(1), 8.7(1), 9.0(1), or 9.1(1).
Monitoring Features
NAT-MIB 
cnatAddrBindNumberOfEnt
ries and 
cnatAddrBindSessionCount 
OIDs to allow polling for 
Xlate count.
Support was added for the NAT-MIB cnatAddrBindNumberOfEntries and 
cnatAddrBindSessionCount OIDs to support xlate_count and max_xlate_count for SNMP.
This data is equivalent to the show xlate count command.
This feature is not available in 8.5(1), 8.6(1), 8.7(1), 9.0(1), or 9.1(1).
NSEL Flow-update events have been introduced to provide periodic byte counters for flow traffic. 
You can change the time interval at which flow-update events are sent to the NetFlow collector. 
You can filter to which collectors flow-update records will be sent.
This feature is not available in 8.5(1), 8.6(1), 8.7(1), 9.0(1), or 9.1(1).
