Hi,

Thanks for contacting the Cisco Support Community! The ASA 5510 uses a physical module for the IPS, and the modules available for the ASA5510:

Cisco ASA 5510 Series Adaptive Security Appliances
Cisco ASA 5510 Adaptive Security Appliance with AIP-SSM-10 (chassis, software, 250 VPN peers, 4 Fast Ethernet interfaces, Triple Data Encryption Standard/Advanced Encryption Standard [3DES/AES])	ASA5510-AIP10-K9
Cisco ASA 5510 Adaptive Security Appliance with Security Plus License and AIP-SSM-10 (chassis, software, 2 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, 3 Fast Ethernet interfaces, 250 IPsec VPN peers, 2 SSL VPN peers, Active/Active high availability, 3DES/AES)	ASA5510-AIP10SP-K9
Cisco ASA 5510 Adaptive Security Appliance with Security Plus License and AIP-SSM-20 (chassis, software, 2 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, 3 Fast Ethernet interfaces, 250 IPsec VPN peers, 2 SSL VPN peers, Active/Active high availability, 3DES/AES)	ASA5510-AIP20SP-K9

Finally you can find all the modules characteristics in the following link:

I hope this information helps you,

Have a great day!

Umm Osvlado - those modules are End-of-Sales since last fall, just like the ASA 5510.

Reference.

Mina - you can no longer add IPS to the older ASA 5500 series as they and their associated modules are discontinued. Even if you managed to find one on grey market you could not get the service subscription added to keep it current.

If IPS is your requirement, you should upgrade to an ASA 5512-X with FirePOWER services and get a higher performance firewall with a Next Generation IPS functionality.
