Configuration Examples for the ASA IPS module
The following example diverts all IP traffic to the ASA IPS module in promiscuous mode, and blocks
all IP traffic if the ASA IPS module card fails for any reason:
hostname(config)# access-list IPS permit ip any any
hostname(config)# class-map my-ips-class
hostname(config-cmap)# match access-list IPS
hostname(config-cmap)# policy-map my-ips-policy
hostname(config-pmap)# class my-ips-class
hostname(config-pmap-c)# ips promiscuous fail-close
hostname(config-pmap-c)# service-policy my-ips-policy global
The following example diverts all IP traffic destined for the 10.1.1.0 network and the 10.2.1.0 network
to the AIP SSM in inline mode, and allows all traffic through if the AIP SSM fails for any reason. For
the my-ips-class traffic, sensor1 is used; for the my-ips-class2 traffic, sensor2 is used.
hostname(config)# access-list my-ips-acl permit ip any 10.1.1.0 255.255.255.0
hostname(config)# access-list my-ips-acl2 permit ip any 10.2.1.0 255.255.255.0
hostname(config)# class-map my-ips-class
hostname(config-cmap)# match access-list my-ips-acl
hostname(config)# class-map my-ips-class2
hostname(config-cmap)# match access-list my-ips-acl2
hostname(config-cmap)# policy-map my-ips-policy
hostname(config-pmap)# class my-ips-class
hostname(config-pmap-c)# ips inline fail-open sensor sensor1
hostname(config-pmap)# class my-ips-class2
hostname(config-pmap-c)# ips inline fail-open sensor sensor2
hostname(config-pmap-c)# service-policy my-ips-policy interface outside
