security devices from Cisco that provide firewall,
intrusion prevention (IPS) and virtual private network
(VPN) capabilities. Is was Introduced in 2005.
• ASA Clustering
ASA clustering lets you group multiple ASAs together as a
single logical device. A cluster provides all the convenience
of a single device (management, integration into a network)
while achieving the increased throughput and redundancy of
multiple devices
• Dynamic Routing protocol support
As of version 9.x, Cisco ASA now supports dynamic routing
protocols such as RIP, EIGRP, OSPFv2.
• Firepower services
Cisco’s new next generation firewall includes the ability to do

filtering, and application visibility and control all together in
one single consolidated appliance.
• Advance Malware Protection (AMP) –
Cisco ASA provides support for Next-Generation firewall
features which can provide protection advanced malware
protection in a single device as the classic firewall features
are combined with NGFWs features.
• Modular Policy Framework (MPF) –
MPF is used to define policies for different traffic flows. Its
used in ASA to utilize advanced firewall features like QOS,
Policing, prioritizing etc.
For using MPF, we define Class-map for identifying the type
of traffic, policy-map for identifying what action should be
taken like prioritize and service-policy for where it should be
applied.

Nowadays IOS router has a lot of the firewall functionality,
however, configuring the FW feature on IOS router can be
quite complex comparatively to a dedicated firewall.
IOS router would have more advanced feature on routing
protocols, while compared to FW which has limited feature
on routing protocols. When comparing firewall feature sets,
ASA would be more superior.
