IPS can't upgrade the signature

Totti — Sun, 10 Mar 2019 12:28:02 GMT

MY client claimed that the IPS modular can't upgrade the signature in the ASA5510, He has already buy the license.

Do I need to upgrade the ASA IOS or do something else ?

What is the formal process to fix this problem?

the error is as below:

Cannot upgrade software on sensor.

IPS can't upgrade the signature

You would need to upgrade the IPS module to the latest version first before you can update the signature. The current version of software 5.1(7)E1 is very old, and the latest version available is now 7.0.5a(E4). E1 engine is very old and is not compatible with the signature that runs on E4 engine.

Here is the release notes for 7.0.5a(E4):

http://www.cisco.com/web/software/282549758/50172/IPS-7_0-5a-E4_readme.txt

You would need to upgrade the current module to at least version 5.1(6)E3 before you can upgrade to 7.0.5a(E4).

Once the IPS module has been upgraded to version 7.0.5a(E4), you can update to the latest signature.

Hope this helps.
