I've just plugged an ASA-SSM-20 into an ASA 5520. I'm looking for online documentation and there seems, at first glance, to be very little out there.</P><P></P><P>I found this <A href="http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/quick_start/ips/ips_qsg.html" target="_blank">http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/quick_start/ips/ips_qsg.html</A> but I'm stuck on step 6. When I run through the wizard I never come to a "IPS Basic Configuration screen"</P><P></P><P>I prefer the cli but if I have to use ASDM to learn more about the product I will. From the ASA cli I can session into the module. I can also ping out from the module to anything. I can't however ping the module from anywhere including the ASA or my PC.</P><P></P><P>Thanks,</P><P></P><P>James</P> Sun, 10 Mar 2019 12:44:57 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/where-to-start/m-p/2004131#M54804 pompeychimes 2019-03-10T12:44:57Z Re: Where to start? https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/where-to-start/m-p/2004132#M54807 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P><SPAN style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">You could start with the Ciscopress-book "</SPAN>CCNP Security IPS 642-627 Official Cert Guide<SPAN style="font-size: 10pt;">".
