• without the license key can we get all the features of the ips

  Hi all I have a sensor ips 4215. I don't have the installed license key is to have the 5.0.1 image inside. Thus, it comes with the default signature. I want to know I will get all the features of IP 4215 even without the license key. can u pls someone help me with that.

  Assane

  Yes, you will get all the features of IPS sensor - its fully functional devices, you don't only have latest signatures (against the latest attacks - but anyway IPS uses also heuristic analysis to detect attacks)... and 5.0.1 contains a lot of signatures in order to have the right IPS device

  Signatures can be downloaded from EAC, if you smartnet - location even agreement as with IOS... :))

  Hello

  For the best protection, you must be in inline mode and the design depends on whether you have a vlan on your DMZ or not.

  You have a Vlan in your DMZ segment?

  Luca;

  Signature updates are cumulative, so you can simply ask the S493 update.  A caveat, however, if you need to make a big move in the signature release (say S470 to S493) it is usually more effective to make small updates (especially on a platform of low memory as the IDS-4215).

• alerts

  I have an IDS/IPS 4215 interface fastethernet 1/0, plugged into a switch, which is part of a demilitarized zone. The same switch that is binding to the interface of the dmz of a PIX 515. I activated some signatures for the trial, including the 2004 ICMP echo request and I am alerted to my PIX ID running events, but not the 4215' detect, which brings me to think about my physical configuration is incorrect. Maybe the switch? I want to do some tests with promiscious mode, IDS, right now, not online. What wiring look like this?

  Thank you

  Bill

  Hello

  Try to activate/configure SPAN port (the monitor session) on the switch. The port where the ID was connected was not able to 'see' other traffic through the switch. DURATION/port mirroring is common if you use promiscious instead of inline. But if you use the hub, you can just login and start to see traffic as hub behave differently from the switch.

  I guess your DMZ switch 1 a VLan.Configure your switch port connecting the ID as the port of destination, while other ports as source port.

  Follow the example in the following link and search for local scope.

• IDM access problem

  I have problem with access via the protocol https and IPS 4215 5.0 (1)

  IAM from connection when you are prompted for the user name and password when I login - java applet starts to load but that IE window is suddenly closed... I tried to install, uninstall JRE 1.4.2 and 1.5 with the same result, I also tried Firefox Netscape n with the same result...

  I tried another computer with the same result...

  My PC is in the access list for access

  I also had a problem, try to do this, but the following worked for me:

  If you wish to do this, you will need the following:

  ? Windows 2000 or XP (SP 2)

  ? 2 gig memory

  ? Java 1.5 (http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/java2)

  ? Firefox? browser installed, do not try to use IE it doesn't? t work.

  You can also find that not a lot of other Cisco based on java apps work fade very well, so beware.

  1. Uninstall java

  2 of course, make sure that you have all the "plugins-object" related uninstalled/removed:

  3 explore > Internet Options > general > settings... >

  4 reinstall java 1.5 (from the link above)

  and then do the following settings as below in Java (-Xmx256M)

  Now try to connect to the IDS via https:// etc.

• Newbie Qustions

  I just got a project which includes the installation and configuration of devices IPS-4240. I used the IPS modules in the ASA devices in the past, but the dedicated devices are new for me. So I really have a few basic questions

  1 are these devices purely IPS, or they perform tasks of IDS so if configured correctly?

  2 - where in the path of data should they be placed, my solution is web hosting with a firewall, load ballancer and IPS?

  3 do not operate devices IPS to L2 or L3?

  The IPS-4240 can be used in conjunction with a derivation of NetOptics or ShoreMicro switch.

  The ByPass switch would be connected inbetween 2 network devices (typically between a firewall or router and a switch).

  Then, there are 2 additional ports on the bypass switch that are then connected to 2 ports of the sensor.

  2 sensor ports must be configured as a pair of InLine Interface.

  If the sensor is in the way of traffic, then traffic from the firewall in the bypass switch will be sent to the probe on the 1st port. The sensor analyzes the packets and transfers on the 2nd port on the bypass switch. The bypass switch passes on the main switch.

  The same for traffic from the main switch.

  The bypass switch transmits packets at the 2nd port of the sensor. Packet is parsed and passed through the 1 port. The bypass switch then passes the packet on the firewall.

  However, if the probe stops passing traffic (sensor loses connection, sensor is turned off or sensor stops just processing for some reason any), then the bypass switch will detect that the traffic to and from the sensor has stopped.

  The bypass switch will then connect the firewall and switch directly to each other and as you say it, it acts like a cable transmission.

  The same happens also if the bypass switch power is lost.

  So for the IPS 4215 IPS-4235, IPS-4250, IPS-4240, IPS-4255 it requires a switch of derivation of NetOptics or ShoreMicro for this feature.

  The IPS-4260 and IPS-4270, however, have this functionality integrated directly into their 4 port copper TX NIC GE so a bypass switch it is not necessary when using these cards. (Ignore the switch always needed for 2 network interface cards GE fiber ports)

  We call the function above material ByPass where avoidance can happen even with loss of power on the sensor.

  The sensor also supports a feature we call SOFTWARE ByPass. With software ByPass the driver for the CARD itself will pass through even the analytical engine should stop analysis for some reason any.

  In most situations the sensor still has the power and the software bypass road takes care to pass traffic through and it is basically just power failure or sensor reboot of the situations in which a hardware bypass feature is used.

  All the sensor platforms are supported by the features of circumvention software.

  Also understand that the sensor supports 3 types of InLine monitoring mode.

  (1) in mode InLine Interface pair where 2 interfaces are paired together for the follow-up online. Hardware bypass switches (or the NIC of ByPass of material in the IPS-4260 and IPS-4270) can be used in mode InLine Interface pair.

  (2) the InLine Vlan pair mode where 2 VLANS on a single interface is paired together for the follow-up online. Because only a single NETWORK adapter is used there is no ByPass material support for InLine Vlan pair mode.

  (3) designated chassis mode InLine for Modules. For our PURPOSE - IPS (module to the router) and AIP - SSM (module for the SAA), it is the chassis configuration (router or ASA) that determines whether a package can be monitored online or not.

  There is no ByPass hardware support for modules.

  HOWEVER, the router and the ASA supported by a configuration "rescue" where if the sensor module fails then the router / ASA is able to continue the traffic passing through even if the sensor module has failed. If the configuration of 'rescue' can be considered the equivalent of the sensor module of the function of derivation of material for devices.

  In all 3 modes of monitoring online above, IPS software does support the functionality of circumvention software.

• Flood of ' TLS connection exception: handshake incomplete. "

  Good day everyone!

  I use IPS 4215 - K9 - 6.0 - 4A - E1 image. Recently, our sensor started generating a lot of mistakes like this (when connected by IDM):

  evError: eventId gravity = 1208572151825393108 = error = Cisco vendor

  Author:

  hostId: sense-1

  appName: cidwebserver

  appInstanceId: 384

  errorMessage: name = connection exception TLS WebSession::sessionTask errTransport: handshake incomplete.

  I do understand that there is something wrong with the tls certificates. So here are the things I've tried:

  -Regenerate the certificate HTTPS and reconnect. No, does not work.

  -Reset the new sensor to the default values, the IP value, regenerate the certificates. No, does not work.

  -J' have also searched this forum, found a few topics having the same problem... But there was no solution said.

  I don't want to use simple HTTP, so this isn't an option.

  This could be a customer problem? My host from the client is MS Windows Server 2003, Sun JRE 1.5, IE 6.

  I would be very grateful if someone could tell me a solution to this problem!

  Thanks in advance!

  Andrew

  This message is common when something connects to the sensor via HTTPS, but uses the good TLS certificate.

  However, this message don't let you know which box is to have this connection problem.

  If you cannot connect to IDM and IDM works fine, then it is likely that he isn't IDM causing errors.

  More that likely there another box (or application) on your network that tries to connect and still has the old sensor SSL certificate.

  This another box should be updated with the new probe SSL certificate.

  To find the IP address of the other box, you can try and use the 'View of packets' command on the command and control the IP address of the probe to look for HTTPS sessions to probe missing lived.

  My best guess is that you might have an old installation of VEI or another monitoring tool that is trying to connect the sensor using an old SSL certificate, and that the application needs be updated to use more recent probe SSL certificate.

  If you cannot connect to IDM, and during these attempts, you get this error. Your web browser has then cached the old updated certificate, and you need to get your browser to accept the most recent SSL certificate of your sensor. IDM should start to work and the error would leave.

• Where is a reliable place to buy X 220 IPS replacement?

  My X 220 IPS has been damaged, if I get random lines unless I have to keep the screen at a specific location. Sometimes moving the lid allows, sometimes typing in a certain place (around Lenovo downstairs) help.

  Where is a reliable place to order a replacement IPS screen? Amazon reviews are mixed with most saying they received TN instead of IPS panels.

  Is - this right part # LP125WH2?

  This help here said page also replace the cable could be the first step, which is the part number for the cable? Anyone know? https://forums.Lenovo.com/T5/X-series-ThinkPad-Laptops/x220-IPS-screen-flickering/Ta-p/702355

  I have exactly the same problem.

  Note that all matrices, I already mentioned are IPS.

  Lenovo sells parts through the official service providers or IBM parts store (I don't remember URL because it is useless to me because of the incredible prices).

  All other sources are not official.

• IDS 4215, good place for an interface sniff (LAN or DMZ)

  I have this sensor with two interfaces only at work, I was asked to check that

  See the IDSWORK version #.

  Application partition:

  The Cisco Systems Version 1.0000 S47 Intrusion detection sensor

  2.4.18 - 5smpbigphys-4215 OS version

  Platform: IDS-4215

  an interface that is Ethernet 0 connected to switch in the DMZ, and 1 Ethernet connected to switch 4005, logically I have to monitor DMZ not switch box 4005 (since I had only two interfaces, my case), I'm right?

  That means that ethernet 0 should be to sniff (surveillance) since it is connected to the DMZ and interface 1 for command and control, since it is connected to switch 4005, but according to cisco specifications

  http://Cisco.com/en/us/products/HW/vpndevc/PS4077/products_configuration_guide_chapter09186a008055df7d.html#wp1051279

  Table 5-2

  FastEthernet0/0: Interfaces supporting VLAN pairs Inline (port detection)

  FastEthernet0/1: Interfaces do not support Inline (command and control Port)

  Note: Cisco has mentioned FastEthernet, one I had Ethernet, makes all the difference?

  Because I did not have this configuration, he made by another, should I change this?

  It seems that your credentials are equipped with the basic ports (2 x Ethernet) with E0 C & C port, while E1 is followed by port.

  BTW, Ethernet/FastEthernet ports are in fact the same.

  To monitor your DMZ segment, then place the E1 in this segment, as E0 on inside segment where in addition to directing the Manager of its web management or CLI interface box, you probably can use basic VMS that comes free with it.

  And since you have dedicated switch to host the entire DMZ segment, you can easily monitor box (SPAN) all and send all traffic to the IDS.

  If you need to change the configuration, you may need to test at least to verify signatures is enabled/disabled and pc/mgt host is allowed to access the box and so on. But it is a good practice for audit and review the new config/setup, as it is a security zone, you need to do to monitor trust and you talk about all the possible threats, attacks or violations.

• Placement of iPs for FW double

  Hi all

  We have basic set up: 2 Core SW (6513 - channeled port)--> ASA 2 (active / standby: running OSPF). ASAs DMZ--> 2 DMZ switches (2948 & 3560 channeled port).

  Same core switches,--> second pair ASA via different vlan that the first pair (runs as well the OSPF). No DMZ.

  IAM planning to add 4255 IPS infrastructure. With the current scenario, if I start with a single unit, I'll be able to monitor all the traffic (inside the fw couples and DMZ) reserve and on active connections. If not possible with one unit 'inline', what about placing the IPS in surveillance mode and and using Span and Rspan 6513 ability, it will be possible to "monitor" all segments of the DMZ (2 augL) and Interior (total 4)?

  TIA

  MS

  Place a sensor in-line with a double firewall IPS asking for trouble. You have created a single point of failure.

  Your 4255 has several interfaces of follow-up. I cover one of each switch and use your 4255 promiscious mode.

  Alternatlely, if your firewall double are active / standby, you could put the 4255 online in the active path and monitor Promisciously the path of the previous day.

  Always plan on your sensor goes down, Cisco will not disappoint you.

• Placement of IDS and IPS, inside or outside?

  Hello

  I have an IDS and IPS, now decide where they should be placed. ID inside and outside of the firewall IPS, or vice versa. Ive read various advantages and disadvantages, but I would like to get some advice from people who have experience in investment.

  Thank you

  The SAA is a firewall that has the IDS/IPS functionality, in addition to other things - where a "security device".

  As a firewall, the device of the SAA is placed on the edge of the network, i.e., probably as the first device inside the WAN (bridge, modem) connection, although sometimes it makes sense to have a router on the outside, especially if there are multiple connections to ISPS for redundancy, load balancing, or quality of Service implementations.

  What ASA model are we talking about?

  IDS/IPS functionality produced inside the unit - there is a "module" that is internal to the unit that manages the functions. In the case of the IPS, it will prevent the malicious traffic to enter your organization (often called inside network) network. In the case of the IDS, it will report all traffic and issue a warning by all means have been configured. These correspond vaguely to inline mode and "Promiscuous" mode respectively.

  I'm no expert, but I hope I could help answer your original question...

• IPS inline & port interface port trunk Switch

  Hello

  Is it possible to configure the IP addresses as the topology below? SW1 and SW2 SPI connection ports is in trunk mode. I would like to configure the IPS in inline mode pairing interface. (not the vlan pairing mode)

  SW1 - IPS - SW2

  Kind regards.

  Yes, this method is fully supported.

  If you want to control all the VLANS with a single virtual sensor, then assign the pair inline interface to the virtual sensor.

  If you want to monitor the VLANS with different virtual sensors, we support groups vlan on this pair of inline interface.

  Do not confuse "inline-pair of vlan" with the "groups of vlan inline on a pair of inline interface.

  The "pair of vlan inline" will pair 2 VLANS on the same interface. When a package arrives in the sensor it will be sent back the same interface with its header vlan has changed.

  The "groups of vlan" on a pair of inline interface don't change headers for VLANs.

  They are only used for virtual local networks, so that the Group of VLAN can then be assigned to a specific virtual sensor.

  You could then take a group of VLANs for your office network employees and assign them to vs0 and take a second group of VLAN for your DMZ and assign them to vs1.

  You can place a vlan unique within each vlan, or you can place several VLANs within each group vlan.

  But it only made sense to have 4 groups of vlan, because you have only 4 virtual sensors on most devices (a bit like the 4215 have 1 virutal sensor so you can make groups of vlan on the 4215).

  I also recommend that you change your virtual sensor and set the Inline TCP Session tracking mode on "Interface and Vlan. In this way the sensor will separately monitor connections on each vlan. This is necessary if a router can route traffic between several VLANs. Without this setting, the sensor will become confused if it sees the same connection of multiple VLANs.
