ASA 5585-X with SSP-IPS10 software upgrade

[Arvin.hsu]

Hello all,

I have a ASA 5585x with SSP-IPS10.

it is currently running ASA 9.1(7)25 and IPS 7.1 , Now we want to upgrade ASA to 9.4(4) but I have a question .

is there software compatibility between ips and asa ? 

should  I need to upgrade the IPS ?

Hi there,

Yes, the IPS is supported with that ASA software version:

thanks  Seb.

I have seen this document , so there is no software compatibility between ips and asa, right ?

like asa and asdm  compatibility.

The two software releases are independent of each other, as such the SSP has been supported on every release of ASA-OS.

ASA and ASDM software versions are much more tightly coupled.

cheers,

Seb.
