Cisco ASA Series CLI Configuration Guide
Chapter 1 Configuring the ASA IPS Module
Managing the ASA IPS module
Shutting Down the Module
Shutting down the module software prepares the module to be safely powered off without losing
configuration data. Note: If you reload the ASA, the module is not automatically shut down, so we
recommend shutting down the module before reloading the ASA. To gracefully shut down the module,
perform the following steps at the ASA CLI.
Detailed Steps
Uninstalling a Software Module Image
To uninstall a software module image and associated configuration, perform the following steps.
Detailed Steps
Resetting the Password
You can reset the module password to the default. The default password is cisco. After resetting the
password, you should change it to a unique value using the module application.
Resetting the module password causes the module to reboot. Services are not available while the module
is rebooting.
