Configuring the AIP SSM

The optional AIP SSM runs advanced IPS software that provides further security inspection either in inline mode or promiscuous mode. The adaptive security appliance diverts packets to the AIP SSM just before the packet exits the egress interface (or before VPN encryption occurs, if configured) and after other firewall policies are applied. For example, packets that are blocked by an access list are not forwarded to the AIP SSM.

If you purchased an AIP SSM, use the procedures in this chapter to:

Configure the adaptive security appliance to identify traffic to be diverted to the AIP SSM

Note The AIP SSM is supported in ASA software versions 7.01 and later.
