Cisco Cisco ASA 5585-X Adaptive Security Appliance

To save the configuration and reload, enter the following commands:

hostname(config)# write memory

hostname(config)# reload

Your ASA typically ships with IPS module software present on Disk0. If the module is not running, 
however, you need to install the module.

To view the IPS module software filename in flash memory, enter:.

hostname# 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.

If you need to copy a new image to disk0, download the image from Cisco.com to a TFTP server, and 
then enter:

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

For other server types, see the 

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

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

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

hostname# sw-module module ips recover configure image 

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

hostname# sw-module module ips recover boot

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

hostname# 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.

ASA Version 8.6.(1) requires Cisco Secure Desktop Release 3.2 or later. You do not need to restart the 
ASA after you install or upgrade Cisco Secure Desktop.

To install or upgrade the Cisco Secure Desktop software, perform the following steps:
