It appears your AIP-SSM module is hung. It should be reporting a Software Version and the Status should be UP. Your module shows:

Software version:

...

Status:             Unresponsive

I would first attempt to reset your module, if that doesn't solve your problem, you should reimage your module.

Hi,

Do resetting AIP-SSM module will have any impact on IPS configuration. Please suggest, as we have very rare knowledge about IPS. Can be resetting be done on production enviroment( If resetting has no impact on production enviroment) if yes, the we will take downtime.

Thanks a lot for your support.

Regards

Resetting an IPS Module will not change the configuration on that module.

Resetting your IPS mdoule will cause a failover to yoru standby ASA if the AIP-SSM module is configured for In-Line operation.

If you do not wish to have a failover, you can remove the IPS configuration section from the ASA config.

During the time the IPS module is rebooting, you will not have any IPS inspection taking place.
