Hi,
I need to know if the 5512X IPS will work if the ASA is in transparent mode and/or any limitations.
Thanks.

Hello Lcaruso,
Starting on ASA 8.4 on transparent mode you can have more than one Ip as you will be using Bridge-groups, also the managment interface will have it own dedicated Ip address.
The AIP-SSM will be fully fucntional whether you have it on transparent mode or not,

Hello,
Yes, it can definetly run on transparent mode
An ASA in transparent mode can run an AIP. In the event the AIP fails,
the IPS will fail-open and the ASA will continue to pass traffic.
However, if an interface or cable fails, then traffic will stop. You
would need a failover pair to account for this failure event, which
means another ASA and matching AIP."

Hi Julio,
I understand in Transparent Mode the ASA can only have one ip address on it. Does that include the IPS SSP as well?
Will I be able to setup the IPS to get its updates, global correlation, ntp and such if the ASA only has one ip address?
Will I be able to meet the requirements to manage the IPS with IME?
Thanks.

So I can have bridge groups and assign an ip address to the management interface and setup the IPS just like a routed firewall? Guess I've got some reading to do.

Hello Lcaruso,
Exactly you got it
Yeah but reading is not that bad when you know what you are looking for
Have a good one
