Cisco ASA Series CLI Configuration Guide
Chapter 1 Configuring the ASA IPS Module
Configuring the ASA IPS module
If you do not have an inside router
If you have only one inside network, then you cannot also have a separate management network. In this
case, you can manage the ASA from the inside interface instead of the Management 0/0 interface. If you
remove the ASA-configured name from the Management 0/0 interface, you can still configure the IPS
IP address for that interface. Because the IPS module is essentially a separate device from the ASA, you
can configure the IPS management address to be on the same network as the inside interface.
Note You must remove the ASA-configured name for Management 0/0; if it is configured on the ASA, then
the IPS address must be on the same network as the ASA, and that excludes any networks already
configured on other ASA interfaces. If the name is not configured, then the IPS address can be on any
network, for example, the ASA inside network.
ASA 5505
The ASA 5505 does not have a dedicated management interface. You must use an ASA VLAN to access
an internal management IP address over the backplane. Connect the management PC to one of the
following ports: Ethernet 0/1 through 0/7, which are assigned to VLAN 1.
What to Do Next
• (ASA 5510 and higher) Configure basic network settings. See the “(ASA 5510 and Higher)
Configuring Basic Network Settings” section on page 1-13.
• (ASA 5505) Configure management interface settings. See the “(ASA 5505) Configuring Basic
Network Settings” section on page 1-13.
