Cisco ASA Configuration Options
Choose the configuration based on the ASA software version:
- 9.7.1 or newer: Route-based configuration
- 8.5 to 9.7.0: Policy-based configuration
- Older than 8.5: Not supported by the Oracle configuration instructions. Consider upgrading to a newer version.
Important
Oracle recommends using a route-based configuration to avoid interoperability issues and to achieve tunnel redundancy with a single Cisco ASA device.
The Cisco ASA does not support route-based configuration for software versions older than 9.7.1. For the best results, if your device allows it, Oracle recommends that you upgrade to a software version that supports route-based configuration.
With policy-based configuration, you can configure only a single tunnel between your Cisco ASA and your dynamic routing gateway (DRG).
