[antrikos_kal]

Hi.Can you please tell me where do I connect the RJ45 from SSM10 to?And what IPs should I give?When I try to connect to it from within ASDM it says port 443.Thanks.

here is some reference guide, (hope this help you)

You can check the following link on how to initialize AIP SSM:

Then you need to set up policy on ASA to divert the traffic to SSM for inspection:

I already saw these.It doesn't say where do I connect from each cable though.

There's an RJ45 at the back of the SSM-10.Where the cable from there goes?To management port of ASA 5510 or to an Ethernet interface (one of four)?

My advice is not to waste any time with that system. The SSM-IPS is EOL, you don't get any added benefit of it.

I know, please if you know,  tell me about the cables.I just use these for educational purposes only.

It's connected to your Management VLAN and gets a free IP out of your Mgmt-IPs.

And don't forget to also study Novell Netware 3 and Windows NT3.5 ... ;-)

Can you please explain the physical connection?From SSM-10 where the RJ45 goes?To management port of ASA5510?

[Karsten Iwen]

The port is not connected to your ASA. It's connected to your internal network. The SSM is managed through that port which means that your management-traffic needs to flow from your management-PC to that port.
