Hi,
I just took a quick overview of the release notes of ASA Release:  
8.2.2.ED and notices this:

Inspection for IP Options:
You can now control which IP packets with specific IP options should  
be allowed through the adaptive security appliance. You can also clear  
IP options from an IP packet, and then allow it through the adaptive  
security appliance. Previously, all IP options were denied by default,  
except for some special cases.

Note This inspection is enabled by default. The following command is  
added to the default global service policy: inspect ip-options.  
Therefore, the adaptive security appliance allows RSVP traffic that  
contains packets with the Router Alert option (option 20) when the  
adaptive security appliance is in routed mode.

The following commands were introduced: policy-map type inspect  
ip-options, inspect ip-options, eool, nop.


What is the difference between using this option compared to allow the  
packet with the ip option? Does it mean that i can clear the ip option  
and then allow the packet with the cleared ip option? I'm unsure if  
thsi was possible before.

Cheers
Simon
