The ASA 5500 series adaptive security appliance supports the AIP SSM
(Advanced Inspection and Prevention Security Services Module) and the CSC
SSM (Content Security Control Security Services Module), also referred to as the
intelligent SSM.
The AIP SSM runs advanced IPS software that provides security inspection.
There are two models of the AIP SSM: the AIP SSM 10 and the AIP SSM 20. Both
types look identical, but the AIP SSM 20 has a faster processor and more memory
than the AIP SSM 10. Only one module (the AIP SSM 10 or the AIP SSM 20) can
populate the slot at a time.
Table 5-4 lists the memory specifications for the AIP SSM 10 and the
AIP SSM 20.
