Kings,

Do you have a specific issue? If so can you explain further?

Generally if you are having trouble with this its always a good idea to
check the logs of the blocking device itself, its more likely to give you
more info as to whether the IPS can log in or why the block was failing.

If you are doing requests to both ASA and IOS device using the sensor, you
typically will need to ignore the alerts for the ASA, when and IOS event is
triggered, as it will only support the block host / shun requests, hence the
possible failures.
It would be good to supress these but I never managed to find a way.
