Cannot get into sensor from IME or ASDM

Colin Higgins — Sun, 10 Mar 2019 12:59:03 GMT

I have a brand new ASA 5515X.

I sessioned into the sensor from the CLI, gave the sensor a name, applied a password to the account, kept the default IP address of 192.168.1.2 (the ASA management address is 192.168.1.1), changed the time zone and DNS settings, and left everything else at defaults.

However, when I try to contact the sensor using IME (or ASDM) from the management network, I get a message saying sensor cannot be contacted or loaded.

I can't ping the sensor (not sure if this is permitted), but I can ping the management interface on the ASA.

What am I missing here?

below are the details of the module

Hi Colin,

I have a similar issue.

No doubt you've read the world's supply of documentation as well, but I still can't resolve this. My issue is not quite the same but very similar. It's not quite the same as there are different interfaces that have been configured for management.

I thought I might be on to something when I read this, so I hope this may be of use to you:

What I have is ASDM not able to contact the IPS via the IPS button. one thing I have noticed is that when logging is set to info, I get an output saying that Anti-Spoofing denied a packet from A to B etc - I'm looking in to this.

Do you get any similar output?

Cheers

Ali

confirm if your Computer is in thesame subnet as the management network

Did you configure and access-list?

Can you send your show config for us to see?

Well this is weird. I changed the IP of the IPS module to the same subnet as the inside interface in an effort to get into it. That didn't work.

Then I switched it back to the management network, and magically, I was able to ping and get in.

Not sure what happened there.
