Hello,
Can anyone help?
I have a pair of ASA 5505 firewalls in a failover configuration. Everything works correctly until I install the IPS module into the secondary firewall. When install I can no longer ping the firewall from the inside network. We do not have an external network set up at present.
I have connected to the secondary firewall via the console. Issues the command "session 1" and can then get to the IPS. I have set the IPS hostname and given it an address on the interal network. I have set the ACL on the IPS to permit the inside range.
The results are that we are unable to reach the ASA or the IPS on the internal range. The primary firewall is no longer able to ping the inside address of the secondary firewall. As soon as I remove the IPS modue all returns to normal. Im not sure what would be causing this. If anyone can tell me where they think I went wrong that would be great.
Thanks
