Need Help Getting ASA SSC 5 up and running quick

[agent2007]

Hi All,

I have tonight to understand and get this card working and would REALLY appreciate some expert guidance.

I have an ASA 5505 and just installed an SSC-5 Card in it.  Unlike the SSM modules in the bigger firewalls, this has no network card so how does it communicate over the management LAN?

To license it, do I do it here https://tools.cisco.com/SWIFT/Licensing/PrivateRegistrationServlet?DemoKeys=Y ?  I dont have a PAK number and the licensing video says that you dont use a PAK key when licesning IPS?

I think if I can get those basics sorted Ill be OK.

Please assist

Hi,

An AIP SSC-5 does not have any external interfaces. You configure a VLAN as a management VLAN to allow access to an internal management IP address over the backplane. By default, VLAN 1 is enabled for the AIP SSC-5 management address. You can only assign one VLAN as the AIP SSC-5 management VLAN

By Default

Management IP address :192.168.1.2/24

Management Hosts:192.168.1.0/24

Gateway:192.168.1.1

For Changine the AIP ssc-5 settins Follow the Steps

Login ASA

asa# configure terminal

asa (config)# interface vlan 1
asa (config-if)# no allow-ssc-mgmt
asa(config)# interface vlan 20
asa (config-if)# allow-ssc-mgmt
asa# hw-module module 1 ip 209.165.200.255 255.255.255.224 209.165.200.245(you can use ur network ip's)
asa# hw-module module 1 ip allow-ip 209.165.200.255 255.255.255.224 (you can use ur network ip's)

asa# show running-config

exit and save config

Hi Thanks for this,  I got it up and running and its monitoring traffic.  Can I ask you a question on the allow-ssc-mgmt.  Is this command only applicable to asa 5505 ssc-5 setups?  I have noticed that the command is not there for aip ssm modules in asa 5520?

tks

This commands are for only ssc-5.
