Configure ASA5515-X with IPS as standalone IPS.

There are instances in our organization when our customers need to have a standalone IPS device due to environment restrictions.  In the past we used the 4240 sensors which are now, or soon to be, EOL.  The upgrade path is the ASA 5515-X with IPS services and I have heard that the device will be able to operate as a standalone IPS device.
Does anyone know if this is indeed possible or does anyone have experience configuring the device this way?  It'd definitely be cheaper than going with the 4300 devices so I'd be interested in feedback on this.

We've done this with ASA5500 models, so it's a safe bet you could do this with the ASA5500x devices as well.
The difference between using an ASA and an appliance for an IPS sensor is there's all sorts of firewall technology that you'll need to disable (as much as possible at least, you can't turn it all off) and I believe the sensor will be blind to layer 2 attacks.

  • Doesn't play songs, "itunes is not configured for use with mac-formatted"??

    Hi, new ipod shuffle. Seems to charge fine, all indicator lights function as expected. Everything looks fine in itunes. But it doesn't play songs. I have the most recent versions of itunes and the ipod software. Re-set, updated, and restored, nothing works. Even restored using the restore utility. Re-started computer. Checked for volume control. Won't play songs. Tried different file types. Songs play fine from itunes library and from the device's library within itunes. Tried different headphones. Hooked it up to computer speakers. Turning volume all the way up on device and speakers, heard some very faint rhythmic static, so my guess is the jack socket (or whatever you call it) is just messed up, but it seems weird that it can transfer power and data to the device but doesn't work for sound...
    The only other issues that have come up is that the drive disappears in explorer once it syncs with itunes. Other people who've noticed this seem to have completely different problems so I don't think it's related.
    Also, I have MacDrive on my computer. And when it starts up with the ipod plugged in, MacDrive offers the message "Itunes is not configured for use with Mac-formatted ipods." It offers to automatically reconfigure itunes so it can read mac-formatted ipods. Since I've restored the device, I don't see why formatting should be an issue so I say "no."
    Should I try letting macdrive do its format thing? Should I try formatting the ipod disk on the My Computer menu? Or should I just email apple and tell them the jack's busted?
    Thanks for any thoughts!

    Well, I have had my iPod for about 3 years, it is a 4th generation non-video 40 GB. One day it just stopped working, and now it does not play any songs. when I turn it on it makes this odd whirring sounds that computers make when they try really hard to do something. I cannot charge it, and it is not recognized by iTunes. Also when I turn it on, I get the apple.com/ipod/support (or whatever it is) screen. Needless to say, my warranty is expired, and so I cannot do anything for it except get a new battery, or buy a new one. Is there any way to fix this problem, or anyone out there who is experiencing the same thing?
    I'm having the exact same problem with my wife's iPod. However it will play about 3 seconds of a song and go onto the next song.
    If there is anyone out there that can help please do!

  • Boot data configuration missing or with errors

    I have a Satelllite L870-15W, and no way to turn the system on.
    All it says is "Toshiba" (the welcome screen) and then (after having pressed f8 or f9):
    file: efi/micorsoft/boot/bcd,
    status 0x0000001;
    the boot configuration data for your or is missing or contains errors.
    I have only recovery partition at D: but cannot access it. What shall I do?

    Satellite L870-15W (PSKFNE-00700CHU) <- Hungarian version
    Spec here too.
    boot data configuration missing or with errors
    It probably means the BCD is missing or corrupt.
    To repair this, you need to access the recovery environment. Microsoft says Windows 8 will eventually take you there if it fails to boot many times. You can also get there using a System Repair Disc or a Windows 8 installation DVD like this downloadable one. You need the 64-bit disc.
    It's possble this will also work on your Toshiba machine. Restart the computer by pressing the power button and immediately start tapping the F12 key until the Boot Menu appears. Using the arrow keys, select <HDD Recovery>.
    WinRE looks like this. Select Troubleshoot and then Advanced options.
    Lots of things to try. See KB2622803 for boot sector problems. The article assumes Windows Vista/7. The same fixes look different in Windows 8, but are all available.
    If Automatic Repair (Startup Repair in 8.1) and System Restore fail, use the bootrec tool at the command prompt. This applies to Windows 8 also.
       Use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows Recovery Environment to troubleshoot and repair startup issu...
    Don't give up until you have tried replacing the BCD itself as follows. (Sometimes the partition is not named "c" and you need to try another letter.)
       c:
       cd boot
       attrib bcd -s -h -r
       ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old

  • Configuration assistant error with Oracle 10g 10.2.02 with Solaris 10 6/06

    Hi all,
    As anyone seen this a fix for this error?
    I have installed Solaris 10 6/06 x86 on VMWare 5.2 which works fine.
    When I attempt to install Oracle 10g 10.2.02 for Solaris x86 (released in Sept 06), the install goes fine until I get to the configuration assistant stage.
    The first Net based configuration assistant fails with a Java exception which seems to be related to a Sig 11 in the libc library.
    This looks like an error fixed by a patch mentioned in the release notes but the patch does not seem to be available for this version of Solaris.
    Any comments would be greatly appreciated...
    Regards

    Hi all,
    Just to update this.
    I have deselected the create database option part of the install and Oracle installs OK!
    The problem is in the create database phase which I have manually done when I use the dbca program.
    When I get to the create database operation of the the dbca wizard, I get a the following error "ORA-00600, internal error code, arguments [kelntf-ldminit, [146],[1],[],[],[],[],[]"
    Any offers?

  • Can't configure Airport Extreme with IP 192.168.0.1 after software update

    Hi there,
    after updating my ax with utility software 5.3.1 and firmware 7.3.1. The software didn't allow the dhcp configuration to stay at IP range from 192.168.0.40 to 192.168.0.200
    The message said that this is not a valid IP.
    The configuration was working before without any problem.
    After several tries I changed to 192.168.1.40 and 192.168.1.200. Now I was able to save the changes. And the airport is working well.
    But I can't go back to 192.168.0
    But I need to use 192.168.0 for a tunnel to connect to my wifes company.
    Configuration:
    Seperate Modem with DSL.
    Connecting over PPPoE
    Activeted WLan
    Connected computers over Lan and Wlan
    Can anybody help?
    Thanx
    Stephan

    by-feet, Welcome to the discussion area!
    AFAIK the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) has always forced the 3rd digit to be a 1 (one), as in x.y.1.z.
    Could it be that you previously had the AEBS to operate as a bridge and your "modem" was actually suppling the IP addresses?

    Plz let me know the solution.
    Thanks,

    Hello,
    I think you have to import the xml-file before clearing the cache again. Your new xml-file needs a higher priority then the default view.
    You have just defined a new ItemType in your new xml-file. I am not sure, but I think that you will have to define in this file also a new view for this ItemType. Because otherwise it is not defined how this new ItemType should be shown.
