1 IPS 5.1(4) is the minimum version that supports signature updates.
2 ASDM 5.2 and later lets you launch IDM from ASDM to manage IPS release 5.0 and 5.1. For natively-integrated management, you need to use IPS 6.0 and above.
3 If you deploy CSC SSM with an ASA 5540 adaptive security appliance, be sure to configure the security appliance to send the CSC SSM only the traffic that should be scanned. The CSC SSM licenses support up to 1000 users, while the Cisco ASA 5540 adaptive security appliance can support significantly more users.
4 For the ASA 5550, the 4GE SSM is built-in and not user-removable. The 4GE SSM is not an intelligent SSM, and does not have a separate software release.
