I can access it over CLI not from within ASDM.That wouldn't be a problem.The real problem is I don't know how to configure it.

[antrikos_kal]

I can't access it from ASDM within the tabs inside the app.What is wrong?Can someone please help?And what the eth port is used for?

[antrikos_kal]

I connected the eth port of ssm10 to the ethernet0/2 of asa 5510 and now shows the interface is up.i gave ip's but still can't access it through asdm.

[Marvin Rhoads · Accepted solution]

If you connected it to Eth0/2 you would also need to fully configure that interface and associated security policies to allow communications.

It would be better to plug it into a switch and VLAN that's common with the ASA inside interface. Your ASDM need to communicate with the IP addresses of both the ASA and SSM.

By the way that ASA and module are well past end of support. Is there something you are trying to do with it in particular?

[antrikos_kal]

Hi!

thanks for the information.it was valuable.no I don't want to do something special.just to set the intrusion detection system.

[antrikos_kal]

What features I will have if connected to my cisco catalyst and which on the asa5510 eth0/2?

[Marvin Rhoads · Accepted solution]

Either way IPS will act the same.

If you use a firewall interface to connect the SSM management, then it must have more configuration associated with it as generally speaking firewalls don't pass traffic between all interfaces by default.

[antrikos_kal]

Either way I will be able to use asdm for the ssm10?or it must be only connected on the asa5510 interface?

[antrikos_kal]

Here's the conf of my cisco catalyst 2950series enterprise.

Switch#

FastEth0/22 is the SSM10.

[Marvin Rhoads · Accepted solution]

Either way can be made to work. Using a switch is less effort to make that happen.

Since your switch has a default configuration, all ports are on the same VLAN (VLAN 1). So yo can plug in your PC, the ASA inside interface and the SSM management interface to three switch ports and then use ASDM. It should be able to see the IPS module then,

I repeat however that the SSM is a very old product. It is no longer supported and you will not be able to get updates for it. Fewer and fewer people will be able to help you with it, it's not relevant for current certifications and it provides minimal protection against modern threats.

[antrikos_kal]

Ok!Thank you!

[antrikos_kal]

That's how I have them connected.But I don't know what IPs to use to access SSM from within ASDM.

[antrikos_kal]

VLAN1 is up also all interfaces.But I never setted up IPs.The inside is 10.x.x.x/24 and outside is 192.168.x.x on my asa5510

[antrikos_kal]

I did what you told me but I still can't access it from within asdm.
