Logging in on a 5525 ASA IPS module
Hi all
Quick question here. I have a new ASA 5525 - X with IPS module.
The PPE must be configured as an ID and told me that without fire view management controller, we can apply a license.
I have also told me that with the 5525, we cannot install log in module to install the licenses. Please can someone confirm if I can install the licenses for the module? If so, how can I connect to the IDS to implement? Is this possible at all?
Kind regards
Riou
That you listed is the legacy model, which is the end of the sale April 26, 2015. See this notice.
They have their own Start Guide quick here.
For these former IPS modules, you do not have licenses. Instead, your Smartnet must be the right kind of contract that includes coverage of subscription for the IPS signature updates.
Legacy devices management IPS is via ASDM/IDM or, for slightly better visibility, through IPS Manager Express (IME). (There is also the option of Cisco Security Manager for the largest deployments).
Signature update and software updates for older IPS modules can be done manually or automatically (assuming that you have a valid support contract, which includes the right of the subscription). Instructions for that are here.

Hello
I would ask you to help learn p/n for the IPS/IDS modules in:
-ASA 5510
-ASA 5515 X
I would like to buy our dealer, but he asks that no part numbers, that he can't find them...
I know that for ASA5510 was AIP-SSM-10, but it currently is EOS. ASA 5515 X has software module, but I can't find this p/n.

In ASA IPS module allows you to scan 2 interfaces?
I'm trying to figure if/how configure the ASA-SSM-20 for scan management/monitor interface and backplane (try to save money and buy not dedicated IPS/IDS for internal network). I'm under IPS v7.0 (8) E4 with v6.4 ASDM. I would use the management port to send traffic split of my Nexus 5548.
Thank you!

Recover password of the IPS module (ASA)
Dear experts,
I have an ASA 5500 series with AIP SSM (IPS module), the username and password are lost.
According to cisco portal, there are two approaches to recover the password:
1 using the CLI command: hw-module module reset slot_number password;
2. with the help of ASDM--> tools--> 'IPS password reset.
Not sure whether the two commands to achieve the same result (retrieve password) or they may have different results (i.e. need to reset the module).
The device is online, reset module is not privileged.
After checking the information from the internet, it offers to reset the IPS module. Any problem will be produced if the IPS module is not reset?RDG
AnitaHi Anita,.
You can try using:
HW-module module slot_number password reset
Who will reset just the IPS to its default username/password:
Cisco and cisco
You can access the ASA CLI IPS:
session 1
Then type cisco and cisco (username/password)
For example, you could add a new password.
Don't forget to evaluate and select the right answer.

IPS Signature DataBase - ASA IPS/IOS IPS/IPS 42xx/AIP-SSM
Hello
Can someone briefly tell me the details of database signature (number of Signature) among the following devices
--> ASA IPS/IOS IPS/IPS 42xx/AIP-SSM.
Thank you
IPS on ASA/PIX = signatures only 50 or so common
Module AIP - SSM is same signatures as the Cisco 4200 series sensors. Few minor differences exist (such as signature support IPv6 etc.)
Please rate if useful.

I am trying to push an update via tftp for my IPS module, but am not sure how this cable.
ASA internal Int: 10.1.3.1
ASA IPS Mod: 10.1.9.201
ASA IPS GW: 10.1.9.1
What I owe my TFTP server directly to cable IPS module, or does it go in the interface internal? I tried both and my TFTP server is not displayed all traffic.
The AIP - SSM module has its own management interface (it is the only ethernet on the face of the module). This must be connected to your TFTP server. Either directly (through a rollover cable) or through a switch or router.

Hi, I'm currently running active / standby and my sometimes (twice a year) IPS module goes on which triggering a failover. The current status is:
This host: secondary: enabled
Another host: primary - failed
and on the primary host-: slot 1: ASA-SSM-10 rev hw/sw (status 1.0/6.1(1)E3) (does not/high)
I know that I have to go in the module and hw-module module reset. But I opened a file and got a replacement Module ID. Do I need to power down my ASA primary, it is in mode of failover in any case... If I turn off, it would result in any question of production since I am currently on secondary. Also, I read that the module will not keep or config between synchronization devices. How can I access the configuration of the IPS module so that I can put it in the new module?
Thanks for the reply.
FYI, these issues must be addressed with the CSE assigned to your request for Service of TAC where RAM was arranged. I'll take a shot at answering them, but when you use a query from Active Service of the TAC, you must act together with the CSE assigned to issues related to the issue.
Do I need to power down my primary ASA
Yes, sensor AIP - SSM modules are not able to SEE (Insertion/withdrawal online). ASA in which the sensor module is replaced must be powered down before removing the faulty sensor module and before installing the replacement.
if I do power down, would it cause any issue to production since I am on secondary right now.
If the other Member of the ASA of the failover pair is currently active and its sensor module is in Place, then power the unit standby off ASA should not affect traffic.
I have read that the module won't retain or synch config between devices. how do i access the configuration of the IPS module so that I can put it into the new module?
Correct, the sensor modules do inheritly not synchronize or replicate their configuration (such as units of the ASA of the failover pair). If you are able to access the defective sensor module long enough to get a copy of the "show config" command, you can integrate this same output in the replacement sensor module.
Finally, note that the Unresponsive State can be caused by hardware problems. IPS 1.0000 E3 (which is what you seem to be running) is very old and is more directly supported. You need to upgrade to a modern version, supported (E4 7.0 (6) or 6.2 (4) E4), which contain a lot of bugs, which some correct problems that might otherwise cause the module become Unresponsive.

What traffic is copied to the IPS Module?
We have an ASA5585-X with installed PSS-10 module that we test. External interface of the firewall is connected to the internet and has a public address. We have installed 4.2 CSM and send IPS events to it.
After that we have configured the IPS module, we expected to get a lot of alerts for attacks from the internet, but we see almost nothing.
The ACL on the external interface does actually not much, just a few SMTP, DNS, HTTP, SSH.
My question is this - the IPS would all see the attacks/traffic from the internet or JUST packages that have passed the external ACL?
I suspect that's why we rarely see alerts - can anyone confirm this?
Thank you
//\/\\\
If traffic was abandoned by the ASA, then IPS will have no visibility to it.
Kind regards

High utiization cpu IPS module
I have two firewalls Cisco ASA5540X with IPS modules configured in a failover pair.
Behind this pair Firewall (inside) is about 140 guests who use various web applications, minimal Internet, e-mail (host maybe 10) and a few small sharing/file access
My IPS is configured for online analysis, but I noticed that the processor works 100% all the time (6 cores). Given that I don't want any circumvention traffic IPS, my firewall configuration looks like this
ips_traffic of access allowed any ip an extended list
ips_traffic list extended access udp allowed a whole
class-map ips_class
corresponds to the ips_traffic access list
Policy-map global_policy
class ips_class
IPS inline help
Why is such high usage on the IPS? What can I do here?
Hello
Although not an expert in this particular field, I installed a handful of them and each of them took one load CPU 100%, I was told by our support load of the CPU on an IPS is very inaccurate way to determine the load, it is preferable to use the inspection processing load.
After more digging, I found this - the issue is addressed in this bug - CSCtl74475

Filtering in Cisco ASA using module sfr Web
Hello
I have Cisco ASA 5515-x version 9.2 (2) and I use ASDM version 7.2 (2). I module 5.3.1 LICO of ASA. I want to activate the ASA web filtering feature. Previously, I used the method of expression regex in the SAA to perform url filtering, but it was not effective. Since then, I have the license for the management of firesight I want to use it.
But I am confused as some cisco docs say to set the firesight management in vmware while others offer to run the boot image in the SAA itself. What is the right way to do it?
The show module command, I see that my module of sfr is in place so that means the sfr module is pre-installed, and I can't do a lot of configurations?
It would be better for me to run ASA itself, but if it does not work like that then I will configure in VM. So please me clearify that concerns my options and my best chance.
If it should be installed on a virtual machine or ASA itself, then please give me the link to download the boot images and other files on cisco.com. I have the user name and password, but did not find the correct software.
Thank you in advance.
Your ASA 5515-x performs the minimum version required to support the fire power module (sfr). The module also runs the initial version of the software of the firepower for ASA-based module firepower.
With this combination of Software ASA and firepower on your device, you will need to use an external administrator of firepower to manage module (create strategies, apply licenses, monitor events etc.).
From ASA 9.5 (1) and firepower 6.0, you have the opportunity to make the most of the same functions via ASDM. You must upgrade the ASA (both ASDM) and firepower to achieve module.
In both cases, you should Protect licenses and URL filtering for the module of firepower.

ASA IPS Signature unsuccessfully URL
I want to update the signatures of ASA IPS by proxy. What are the destination URL I need to allow my proxy?
I think www.cisco.com and dl.cisco.com should cover. The first has the metadata and the second is the source of the real signature files.
Those are the two sites whose certificates in Cisco Security Manager, you must accept during the installation for the IPS signature updates.

Hello
I didn't send a CX module before. We are about to deploy firewalls 2xASA5585-X with CX (for STROKE and WSE) modules.
I'm sure I know the answer to this (I've deployed a lot of old OLD ASA with CSC modules in them, and I'm guessing that the CX module has the same).
1 will be the failure of the module CX trigger a failover event (fail-over active standby)? My guess is not?
2. If it is not and policy service is set to 'closed' this means that the client should perform a manual failover to the secondary/sleep to restore access, web - this correct?
Pete
Hi Pete,.
1 will be the failure of the module CX trigger a failover event (fail-over active standby)? My guess is not.?
Yes he custom of tipping your ASA, depends on configuration either will be allowed or close the traffic
In the area if ASA CX card fails, click permit traffic or close traffic. The narrow traffic option defines the ASA to block all traffic if the ASA CX module is not available. Permits for movement option sets the ASA to allow all traffic through, if not inspected, the ASA CX module is not available.
2 if it is not and the service policy is set to 'closed' this means that the client should perform a manual failover to the secondary/sleep to restore access, web - this correct? .When set to allow traffic CX failure, there is no need to manually failover your ASA firewall between HA
Step 8 check the ASA CX check this box traffic flow.

How to configure ASA IPS, which is connected to the Internet
Hello guys,.
I am a beginner in the Concept ASA IPS and that my company HAS an ASA 5520.
Currently, ASA has been connected to the router connected ISP and internet acting as a firewall to control the traffic which
is integrated with Websense URL filtering.
Can you please let me know what all should we expected to configure IPS in this scenario, and what is the IPS feature.
What is the main function of the IPS?
Grateful to your messages.
Kind regards
KA.
KA;
The main function of the AIP - SSM in your ASA 5520 is to perform deep inspection packet and signature matching to detect traffic potential of achievement within your network. If this traffic is detected, the AIP - SSM denying traffic to cross your ASA. Here is a link to a brief overview of the product:
http://www.Cisco.com/go/aipssm
First, you must configure the ASA to divert traffic to the AIP - SSM for inspection, it is shown here:
http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/docs/security/IPS/7.0/Configuration/Guide/CLI/cli_ssm.html
So, you want to make sure that background basket interface (GigabitEthernet0/1) is added to a virtual sensor on the AIP - SSM for allow the inspections to occur.
You want to make sure that the signature on the AIP - SSM definitions are up-to-date. This ensures the most accurate protection from the perspective of the AIP - SSM. This will require an active license be installed on the AIP - SSM.
Then, you most likely want to monitor events generated by the AIP - SSM. To do this, Cisco offers a free entry-level called IPS Manager Express (IME) solution. You can learn more and download IME here:
You will want to monitor EMI to learn that the potential risks of security in network traffic crossing your infrastructure. When you experience events for which you would like to understand better, you can site IntelliShield visist Cisco for further investigation:
Details here, can also be extended within the IME event view.
Use of an IPS will be a continuous monitor and learn phase in order to ensure that you are aware of traffic expected and unexpected, and that the appropriate response can be applied. This is something which is different in each environment, so it is not a simple white paper on how to perform these actions.

Hello
Do you think, from the point of view of expert security, replacing a physical IPS with a firewall IPS module will any beneficiary?
any idea which may specify?
Yes you can install modules IPS in routers. Take a look at the following presentation to get an idea of what range of devices are available.
As for your second question, not implementation is strictly good or bad. Situation will dictate what you want to do about the way in which you configure the path to the ISP. My personal preference would be to put a switch between the IPS and the router and configure it accordingly. It gives me a certain flexibility which can allow me to plug in other devices in the network path, if I find that I need to.
