Step 2
To set the IPS module software location in disk0, enter the following command:
hostname# sw-module module ips recover configure image disk0:file_path
For example, using the filename in the example in Step 1, enter:
hostname# sw-module module ips recover configure image
disk0:IPS-SSP_5512-K9-sys-1.1-a-7.1-4-E4.aip
Step 3
To install and load the IPS module software, enter the following command:
hostname# sw-module module ips recover boot
Step 4
To check the progress of the image transfer and module restart process, enter the following command:
hostname# show module ips details
The Status field in the output indicates the operational status of the module. A module operating
normally shows a status of "Up." While the ASA transfers an application image to the module, the Status
field in the output reads "Recover." When the ASA completes the image transfer and restarts the module,
the newly transferred image is running.
