Cisco Systems and the ASA Services Module Manual De Usuario

Do one of the following:

New ASA with IPS pre-installed—To view the IPS module software filename in flash memory, 
enter:.

ciscoasa# dir disk0:

For example, look for a filename like IPS-SSP_5512-K9-sys-1.1-a-7.1-4-E4.aip. Note the filename; 
you will need this filename later in the procedure.

Existing ASA with new IPS installation—Download the IPS software from Cisco.com to a TFTP 
server. If you have a Cisco.com login, you can obtain the software from the following website:

http://www.cisco.com/cisco/software/navigator.html?mdfid=282164240

Copy the software to the ASA:

ciscoasa# copy tftp://server/file_path disk0:/file_path

For other download server types, see 

 in the 

general operations configuration guide.

Note the filename; you will need this filename later in the procedure. 

To set the IPS module software location in disk0, enter the following command:

ciscoasa# sw-module module ips recover configure image disk0:file_path

For example, using the filename in the example in Step 1, enter:

ciscoasa# sw-module module ips recover configure image 

To install and load the IPS module software, enter the following command:

ciscoasa# sw-module module ips recover boot

To check the progress of the image transfer and module restart process, enter the following command:

ciscoasa# show module ips details

The Status field in the output indicates the operational status of the module. A module operating 
normally shows a status of “Up.” While the ASA transfers an application image to the module, the Status 
field in the output reads “Recover.” When the ASA completes the image transfer and restarts the module, 
the newly transferred image is running.
