Hi,
I am implementing sourcefire IPS for the 1st time in life and have a few basic questions that I couldn't find answers in the documentation.
1. I was able uninstall IPS module and load boot image for SFR and console to the sfr module. Now the setup is saying to assign it an IP. Which subnet the IP would be from? How does sfr module communicate to management station? Through inside interface or Management0/0 interface? Can I assign an IP for the sfr from inside interface?
2. The document is saying the process to download system image is through http://URL. I don't have an http server handy so can I use ftp protocol or any other protocol to download the system image?
3. If sfr module uses management interface, do I do static routes to route management stations IP through management interface? To my knowledge ASA doesn't do VRFs and keep a separate routing table for the management interface.
Thanks in advance,
