Introduction to “cisco-asa-fp2k.9.14.4.17.SPA” Software
This firmware package provides Cisco Secure Firewall ASA software for Firepower 2100 series appliances. Designed for network security professionals, it enables firewall threat defense capabilities with ASA feature parity, supporting legacy configurations while maintaining modern security standards. The 9.14(4)17 release focuses on stability improvements and security hardening for enterprise deployments.
Compatible with Firepower 2110/2120/2130/2140 hardware platforms, this build integrates Cisco’s Adaptive Security Algorithm (ASA) with Firepower eXtensible Operating System (FXOS) architecture. The software allows administrators to convert Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) installations to ASA mode, particularly useful for organizations requiring traditional firewall management workflows.
