Does ASA support OIR of the SSM-4GE?

[limtohsoon]

Hi Sir,

A simple question: Does the ASA 5540 support online insertion and removal (OIR) of the 4-Port Gigabit Ethernet Security Services Module (SSM-4GE)?

I can't seem to find this info on cisco.com. Please help.

Thank you.

No

You need turn ASA off before module insertion

Only SFP Gbics inserted to SSM-4G are hot-swappable

Hope that helps rate if it does

Hi,

I actually wanted to remove an SSM-4GE from a production ASA5540.

The module can be shut down by software, as follows:

Please confirm.

Thank you.

Hi,

Surprisingly, the "hw-mod mod 1 shut" command is not available on ASA version 7.2, but available on 7.0. However, the "reset" command is available.

Do you know why?

Thank you.
