ASA IPS bundle licensing

csharkay — Sun, 10 Mar 2019 13:09:11 GMT

Hi,

Please help to investigate how to order ASA IP bundle licensing!

Our customer wants to buy an ASA5515-IPS-K9 bundle with licensing for IP signature updates for 1 or 3 years?

Is the bundle built-in ASA5515-IPS-SSP license is enough?

Do they need to buy additional licensing for the IPS signature updates? If yes, what is the part number for it?

Thanks for your answers in advance.

Hi Saurov,

Firstly thanks for your answer!

The ASA5515-IPS-K9 configuration bundle includes an ASA5515-IPS-SSP built-in license for IPS.

The config is as follows (all items in the config rows 2-9 are 0 USD included items):

ASA5515-IPS-K9 ASA 5515-X with IPS SW 6GE Data 1GE Mgmt AC 3DES/AES 1

SF-ASA-X-9.1-K8 ASA 9.1 Software image for ASA 5500-X Series5585-X & ASA-SM 1

SF-ASAIPS64-7.1-K9 ASA 5500-X IPS Software 7.1 for IPS SSP 1

ASA5515-IPS-SSP ASA 5515-X IPS SSP License 1

CAB-ACE AC Power Cord (Europe) C13 CEE 7 1.5M 1

ASA-VPN-CLNT-K9 Cisco VPN Client Software (Windows Solaris Linux Mac) 1

ASA5500-ENCR-K9 ASA 5500 Strong Encryption License (3DES/AES) 1

ASA-ANYCONN-CSD-K9 ASA 5500 AnyConnect Client + Cisco Security Desktop Software 1

ASA5515-MB ASA 5515 IPS Part Number with which PCB Serial is associated 1

Your wrote L-ASA5515-IPS-SSP= is also needed!

Does it mean that for the IPS signature updates customer must buy the L-ASA5515-IPS-SSP= extra license AND a service contract for the ASA?

Thanks for the clarification in advance!
