I have an ASA-SSM-40 in an ASA 5540. A couple of days ago, the IPS went into bypass mode and I could figure out why. I reloaded the image with version 7.0.6 E4. I lost the config and have now reconfigured it. I cannot ping the device from anywhere, but I can ping out from the device. The config looks the same as all the other SSM's we have installed at other sites. I'm using the same IP address, and the ASA is still configured as it was before when it was working. Obviously I can't web to the device either.
