[c-nsp] ASA cluster downgrade

[Nick Cutting]

Could be very tough to do without failing over, and maybe breaking the interfirewall comms after failover.

Do you have a failover interface and a state interface? If you have both and you are replicating all of the sessions, the users don't usually notice the failover.

probably not from 8.4 to 8.2, no. The NAT configuration mechanism changed considerably in 8.3 and 8.2 will not be able to read 8.3+ configs.

Time to get out the configuration backups.
