main ASDM page:

Step 2 Choose the Interfaces feature on the left side of the ASDM window.
Step 3 Choose the 4GE SSM interface and click Edit. The Edit Interface dialog box appears.
Step 4 Click Configure Hardware Properties. The Hardware Properties dialog box appears.
Step 5 Click the Media Type drop-down menu and choose Fiber Connector.
Step 6 Click OK to return to the Edit Interfaces dialog box, then click OK to return to the interfaces

AIP SSM Procedures
The optional AIP SSM runs advanced IPS software that provides further security inspection either in
inline mode or promiscuous mode. The security appliance diverts packets to the AIP SSM just before
the packet exits the egress interface (or before VPN encryption occurs, if configured) and after other
firewall policies are applied. For example, packets that are blocked by an access list are not forwarded
to the AIP SSM.
If you purchased an AIP SSM, use the procedures in this section to:
• Cable the management interface
• Configure the adaptive security appliance to identify traffic to be diverted to the AIP SSM
• Session into the AIP SSM and run setup
Because the IPS software that runs on the AIP SSM provides many features and is beyond the scope of
this document, detailed configuration information is available in the following separate
documentation:
• Configuring the Cisco Intrusion Prevention System Sensor Using the Command Line Interface
• Cisco Intrusion Prevention System Command Reference
