Licensing Changes
ASA Licensing
  New Feature – IPS Module
  • A new licensing feature was introduced to
    enable the use of the IPS Software Module.
  • Traffic destined to IPS will be dropped by
    ASA if this license is not enabled AND ‘fail-
    close’ is configured.
  • IPS Signature Update license is required
    on top of the above license.
  • All other license features remain
    unchanged and are based on ASA 8.4.2
    software.
Enabling IPS Service
ASA Management Model
• Dedicated Out-Of-Band management port M0/0
• Failover & VLAN sub-interface features are not configurable on
  M0/0
• ASA and integrated IPS management are independent of each
  other.
   •   Management model is similar to previous ASA/SSM appliances
   • ASA and IPS software module have separate management IP addresses
     but share the same physical port M0/0 for outbound connectivity
   • ASA can log IPS module’s console messages “show module 1 log console”

• ASA configures and manages all external data ports
ASA and IPS Management Model (1/2)
  Similarities with SSM/SSP
  • ASA and IPS are managed very similar to
    previous SSM/SSP deployments.
  • ASA is used to recover, reload, shutdown,
    etc. IPS.
  • ASA is used to configure service-policies to
    pass traffic to IPS.
  • ASA and IPS have unique IP addresses for
    management purposes.
  • ASDM, IME, and IDM behave the same.
ASA and IPS Management Model (2/2)
 Differences with SSM/SSP
  • ASA and IPS share the only dedicated
    management port on the box.
  • IPS must use the dedicated management port.
    However, ASA can use any port on the box to
    manage the system.
  • When ASA and IPS are sharing the dedicated
    management port then the IP address for ASA and
    IPS should be within the same subnet.
  • The IPS image stored on the embedded flash is
    used to recover the software module instead of
    downloading the image over the SSM/SSP
    dedicated management port.

    Licensing Changes ASA Licensing New Feature – IPS Module • A new licensing feature was introduced to enable the use of the IPS Software Module. • Traffic destined to IPS will be dropped by ASA if this license is not enabled AND ‘fail- close’ is configured. • IPS Signature Update license is required on top of the above license. • All other license features remain unchanged and are based on ASA 8.4.2 software.
  • 25.
  • 26.
    ASA Management Model •Dedicated Out-Of-Band management port M0/0 • Failover & VLAN sub-interface features are not configurable on M0/0 • ASA and integrated IPS management are independent of each other. • Management model is similar to previous ASA/SSM appliances • ASA and IPS software module have separate management IP addresses but share the same physical port M0/0 for outbound connectivity • ASA can log IPS module’s console messages “show module 1 log console” • ASA configures and manages all external data ports
  • 27.
    ASA and IPSManagement Model (1/2) Similarities with SSM/SSP • ASA and IPS are managed very similar to previous SSM/SSP deployments. • ASA is used to recover, reload, shutdown, etc. IPS. • ASA is used to configure service-policies to pass traffic to IPS. • ASA and IPS have unique IP addresses for management purposes. • ASDM, IME, and IDM behave the same.
  • 28.
    ASA and IPSManagement Model (2/2) Differences with SSM/SSP • ASA and IPS share the only dedicated management port on the box. • IPS must use the dedicated management port. However, ASA can use any port on the box to manage the system. • When ASA and IPS are sharing the dedicated management port then the IP address for ASA and IPS should be within the same subnet. • The IPS image stored on the embedded flash is used to recover the software module instead of downloading the image over the SSM/SSP dedicated management port.
