Model Guidelines
• See the Cisco ASA Compatibility Matrix for information about which models support which
modules:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/compatibility/asamatrx.html
• The ASA 5505 does not support multiple context mode, so multiple context features, such as virtual
sensors, are not supported on the AIP SSC.
• The ASA IPS module for the ASA 5510 and higher supports higher performance requirements,
while the ASA IPS module for the ASA 5505 is designed for a small office installation. The
following features are not supported for the ASA 5505:
– Virtual sensors
– Anomaly detection
– Unretirement of default retired signatures
Additional Guidelines
• The total throughput for the ASA plus the IPS module is lower than ASA throughput alone.
