Iif you mean the 4235 IPS Sensor, then no.

Here's a little table I made to track the aging of these sensors

Model	max software version	End of Sale	End of Software Maintenance	End of Signature support	End of Service Contract Renewal Date	Last Date of HW Support
4210	5.x	June 6th, 2003		Oct 24th, 2009	December 6th, 2007	December 6th, 2008
4215	6.0(x)	July 29th, 2008	July 29th, 2009	July 29th, 2011	October 24th, 2012	July 28th, 2013
4235	6.0(x)	May 31st, 2005	May 31st, 2006	May 31st, 2009	Feb 28th, 2010	May 31st, 2010

Wow, this IS an old sensor, the 4230 (the orginal Net Ranger sensor) was replaced by the 4235.

Here's the End of Support dates on your 4230:

•EOS: July 31, 2002 (no longer available for purchase)

•End of software support: July 31, 2005

•End of hardware support: July 31, 2007 (hardware repairs or exchanges are no longer available)

The 4230 was a (according to Cisco) a 100Mb/s sensor.

You replacement choices are:

ASA5510 /w AIPSSM10 module 150Mb/s - Note this is an ASA chanssis so you will have firewall features to configure and manage as well.
