Troubleshooting the ASA IPS module
This section includes procedures that help you recover or troubleshoot the module and includes the
following topics:
• Installing an Image on the Module, page 58-21
• Uninstalling a Software Module Image, page 58-23
• Resetting the Password, page 58-23
• Reloading or Resetting the Module, page 58-24
• Shutting Down the Module, page 58-24
Installing an Image on the Module
If the module suffers a failure, and the module application image cannot run, you can reinstall a new
image on the module from a TFTP server (for a physical module), or from the local disk (software
module).
Note Do not use the upgrade command within the module software to install the image.
Prerequisites
• Physical module—Be sure the TFTP server that you specify can transfer files up to 60 MB in size.
Note This process can take approximately 15 minutes to complete, depending on your network
and the size of the image.
• Software module—Copy the image to the ASA internal flash (disk0) before completing this
procedure.
Note Before you download the IPS software to disk0, make sure at least 50% of the flash memory
is free. When you install IPS, IPS reserves 50% of the internal flash memory for its file
system.
