Cisco ASA IPS module crashes randomly

secureIT
Level 4
Level 4

Hi All,

I have an ASA 55xx firewall where ASA-SSM-20 is installed and running with version 7.1(10)E4, device has a valid license as well.
The IPS module is getting rebooted automatically once in 2-3 days, and below are the logs captured during the problem.
Can someone assist in finding the cause and fix for this issue.


signature version:-
==============
Signature Update    S912.0            2016-03-04

From the logs, i got only errSystemError - Card Manager error -1 as a suspected log.

It could very well be a hardware issue.

Since you have a current IPS subscription service, you must also have TAC support on the hardware as that's a prerequisite on the older type of IPS. So I'd recommend going straight to a TAC case.
