5515-X IPS COnfiguration

[Nathan Armstrong]

We recently purchased (2) ASA 5515-X with a 3 year IPS only license. The Firewalls are setup and working as expected, I have also completed the basic configuration of the CX module and applied the IPS license.  Can someone point me in the direction of any documentation, blogs, or videos on how to configure the ASA to send traffic to the IPS module? Or if someone could just provide a high-level overview on what needs to be configured next, we are not implementing AVC or content filtering. Everything I have research either points to AVC/Content filtering configuration information or information on the old classic IPS.

Any help is greatly appreciated as always.

Whether it's for inspection by the CX-based IPS module or needing to be evaluated by an AVC/WSE policy, you direct the traffic there the same way - via a firewall service-policy in the base ASA.

The CX Module Quick Start Guide explains how.
