I just want to know how is different an IPS device from Firewall in the terms of traffic blocking as I know we can handle the traffic on ASA FW by using MPF then why we require IPS. Thanks</P> Mon, 11 Mar 2019 13:48:02 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/query/m-p/1038944#M896019 ray_stone 2019-03-11T13:48:02Z Re: Query!! https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/query/m-p/1038945#M896022 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>ASA MPF has some specific Protocols engines covering various filtering options.
