Feature History for the ASA IPS module
AIP SSC for the ASA 5505 8.2(1) We introduced support for the AIP SSC for the ASA 5505.
The following commands were introduced:
allow-ssc-mgmt, hw-module module ip, and hw-module
module allow-ip.
Support for the ASA IPS SSP-10, -20, -40, and -60
for the ASA 5585-X
8.2(5)/
8.4(2)
We introduced support for the ASA IPS SSP-10, -20, -40,
and -60 for the ASA 5585-X. You can only install the ASA
IPS SSP with a matching-level SSP; for example, SSP-10
and ASA IPS SSP-10.
Note The ASA 5585-X is not supported in Version 8.3.
Support for Dual SSPs for SSP-40 and SSP-60 8.4(2) For SSP-40 and SSP-60, you can use two SSPs of the same
level in the same chassis. Mixed-level SSPs are not
supported (for example, an SSP-40 with an SSP-60 is not
supported). Each SSP acts as an independent device, with
separate configurations and management. You can use the
two SSPs as a failover pair if desired.
Note When using two SSPs in the chassis, VPN is not
supported; note, however, that VPN has not been
disabled.
We modified the following commands: show module, show
inventory, show environment.
Support for the ASA IPS SSP for the ASA
5512-X through ASA 5555-X
8.6(1) We introduced support for the ASA IPS SSP software
module for the ASA 5512-X, ASA 5515-X, ASA 5525-X,
ASA 5545-X, and ASA 5555-X.
We introduced or modified the following commands:
session, show module, sw-module.
