Configuring IPS Through ASDM
The AIP-SSM module can be configured for IPS features through the CLI or on an ASDM
window. It is recommended that the administrator configure the IPS features through the
ASDM as it removes most of the user error that can come from direct CLI configurations,
like typos. To use the ASDM for configuration, the module will require an HTTPS web server
to be enabled, as shown in Example 19-8 in the preceding section, as well as for the HTTPS
web server to have an IP address that is accessible on the network. Once you have completed
the setup command, you will be able to access the IPS configuration options from ASDM.
Once you bring up an ASDM window for the Security Appliance, you will see the IPS button
on the left side of the window, as shown in Figure 19-2.
