asa and vms ipsmc

[darin.marais]

I would like to find out from the community if the ASA 5510 Appliance IPS with the AIP-SSM-10 module can be configure and managed by the IPSMC of vms 2.3. I am speaking specifically about the IPS module not the firewall etc. Can signature updates etc be deployed from the IPSMC console of vms.

I am completely aware of security monitor but we are not planning any upgrade for the moment.

My second question does the ASA support vlan pairing.

What do you mean by "vlan pairing"?
