Thanks Shahul for the reply,

 Do i need a valid service contract to download the latest IME or any other updates for IPS.

Also in order to update the sensors what exactly i need to do.

Hope iam clear.

Thanks

Hi,

How are you trying to access the IPS ?

Did you try to console it from the ASA device itself.

Can you share the output of "show module ips det"

Thanks and Regards,

thanks Vibhor for the reply,

iam now able to access the asa ips from the management port.

Also i am able to access the asdm-idm.

However when i check the status of licence,its showing no licence.

Kindly let me know do we need to purchase a licence for it.

Thanks

Hi,

Yes , you would need a sperate license for the IPS updates.
