Hi,
Customer is asking for a solution wherein ASA will be in transparent mode. 2 of the interfaces will fall in Admin context while other two will be part of a new context, say Context Traffic1. Now as he is also buying AIP SSM module with the boxes he wants IPS functionality for traffic of both contexts.
The ASA are to be deployed in AA mode with each ASA catering to traffic of one Context.
I am really doubtful on the IPS module being available to both contexts as no interface is shared between these contexts and how will the traffic be available to IPS when the IPS interface can only be part of one context at one time. Plz respond ASAP.
