Cisco Systems and the ASA Services Module Manual De Usuario

Access the ASA IPS module CLI using one of the following methods:

Session from the ASA to the ASA IPS module. See the 

Connect to the IPS management interface using SSH. If you did not change it, the default 
management IP address is 192.168.1.2. The default username is cisco, and the default password is 
cisco. See the 

 for more information 

about the management interface.

Configure the IPS security policy according to the IPS documentation.

To access all documents related to IPS, go to: 

(ASA 5510 and higher) If you configure virtual sensors, you identify one of the sensors as the default. 
If the ASA does not specify a virtual sensor name in its configuration, the default sensor is used.

When you are done configuring the ASA IPS module, exit the IPS software by entering the following 
command:

sensor# exit

If you sessioned to the ASA IPS module from the ASA, you return to the ASA prompt.

For the ASA in multiple context mode, see the 

For the ASA in single context mode, see the 

If the ASA is in multiple context mode, then you can assign one or more IPS virtual sensors to each 
context. Then, when you configure the context to send traffic to the ASA IPS module, you can specify a 
sensor that is assigned to the context; you cannot specify a sensor that you did not assign to the context. 
If you do not assign any sensors to a context, then the default sensor configured on the ASA IPS module 
is used. You can assign the same sensor to multiple contexts.

You do not need to be in multiple context mode to use virtual sensors; you can be in single mode and use 
different sensors for different traffic flows.

For more information about configuring contexts, see the 

 in the general operations configuration guide.
