• IPS 4260 sensor - NETWORK ports

  The IPS 4260 only comes with 1 port NIC, is what it means he cannot run in promisicious mode and must purchase additional NETWORK card interfaces to run inline?

  It comes with a single command and control NICS and NIC monitoring.

  Followed NIC can be used for monitoring promiscuity or InLine Vlan pair of surveillance.

  With InLine Vlan pair followed you plug changing the port on a switch and do a 2 trunk port VLAN.

  The configuration of the sensor inside match you 2 VLANS.

  Packets entering Vlan A will be analyzed and passed on Vlan B.

  Packets entering Vlan B will be analysed and transmitted on A Vlan.

  Then InLine Vlan pairs is like an InLine sensor interface is connected to A Vlan, and the other interface connected to Vlan B; but he is able to do using a single interface.

  For the monitoring of traditional InLine Interface pair, yes you will need to purchase an additional NIC

  The 4260 supports 3 additional types of network cards: 10/100/1000 TX 1000 SX and 10 Gbps SX.

• Implementation of IPS 4260

  Hello

  simple question about the implementation of inline IPS 4260 mode between PIX and core router. IS it possible just to plug pix inside interface with an SPI interface and another nucleus iterface with SPI interface and create line-interface-pair. Or I have to create another VLAN on Core router just to span traffic through IP, using additional ports on the router? Thanks in advance

  Yes for inline IPS-4260 of monitoring can be placed between the router and the Pix.

  On the 4260 create a pair of InLine interface using the interfaces of the probe 2 and assign it to sensor virtual vs0.

  Optionally configure the speed and duplex settings of 2 interfaces of the 4260 so they correspond to any speed hard and duplex parameters that may already be on the Pix and the router.

  Disconnect the connection between the router and the Pix. Plug this Pix interface in one of the interfaces of the probe in the pair and this interface of router in the interface of the other probe of the pair.

  The sensor should be now able to do inline followed between the router and the Pix.

  No configuration change is required on the Pix or router, when you use the method above to add the pair of inline interface 4260.

  Of course, you want to do during a downtime planned for your network.

• Centralized authentication (IAS/Radius) in IDS/IPS 4260

  All,

  I was in charge of configuring authentication centralized via IAS for all IPS/IDS devices in the enterprise.  After much invest I'm pretty sure that my goal is not available due to the limitations of the device.  However, I'm still not sure at 100%.  My questions are:

  1 is anyone can provide a link or any documentation showing permanently the IPS 4260 supports Radius IAS authentication?

  a. If no, what would be a suitable alternative? CSM, etc.. ?

  Cisco IPS sensors do not currently support authenticated access to the outside.  They can't stand

  assignment of authentication and the role of user/password local name.

• H/W to get around the map to IPS 4260

  Hello

  One uses the card of workaround H/A (IPS-4GE-BP-INT =) for the cisco IPS?

  I need to know is - what a card dedicated to the process of derivation h/w only? or its ports can be used as detection also interfaces?

  waiting for your feedback

  Mohamed

  Ports can be used as surveillance interfaces and hardware bypass the process.

  Here is the document for your reference:

  http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/partner/docs/security/IPS/6.1/installation/guide/hw_installing_4260.html#wp18087

  If you go further in the document, it also explains the restriction of configuration for bridging material.

  I hope this helps.

• IPS 4260 - how to see the signature enabled in CLI and CSM

  How many signatures is enabled. ?

  The CSM sees how many signatures is activated?

  and what is the command in the CLI, where can I see how many signatures I've activated

  The IPS Manager Express, it's easy to see how much is activated.

  Better compliance

  René Rolsted

  Through CSM, you can see what are all signatures are enabled.

  If you want to know the County. You must filter the signatures in defining active = True, and then you can export it as a. CSV file. If you open that excellent by sheet.you can get the count.

• The user max reached via https (IPS 4260)

  If I try to connect https written this user max reached. Reset did not help.  May need to remove a few signatures and the inspection complete-100 configured interface?

  

  

  Mike-

  I see that you run signature and version 7.0 (4) output 601.

  It is a bad combination and can cause your sensor to lock up. You will need to upgrade your operating system to 7.0 (6), and then apply the latest pack of Signature (you have 30 days after the expiration of this license, so hurry).

  This may solve your problem, but even if this is not you should do this in any case.

  Here's the thread discussing the problem of version of the operating system/GIS:

• IPS management on VPN

  Have a problem with the return traffic to a management of ips across a vpn tunnel interface. The phase 1 and Phase 2 works fine

  but the return traffic does not return to the ASA (IPS, gateway). The IPS 4260 (v 7.08) was still connected directly to the ASA

  but still no return traffic (#pkts program: 0)

  
  

  #pkts decaps: increments as intended (with icmp tests) so I know that demand is getting there.

  I think that the rules are properly configured as #pkts program: increments during the test to a switch (IP address) moved over the IPS.

  Lack of debugs on the SAA, but don't see anything.

  IPS has the simple config with permit ACL 0.0.0.0/32

  Is there something that makes the IPS or a combination thereof with the ASA to no answer?

  Thank you

  Pete

  Hello

  It should be:

  0.0.0.0/0

• user account to download Cisco IPS signature

  Hi all

  I wanted to activate the automatic update in IPS but he asks Cisco VAC with cryptographic privileges for tΘlΘcharger Cisco.com Cisco IPS signature and engine signature updates.

  is their any default access for this?

  I have VAC ORC is if this can be used?

  You must have a Cisco.com user with privileges to download Cisco IPS signature and signature updates cryptographic engine of Cisco.com.

  Using your cisco.com account go to this link and see if you can download the IPS - K9 - 6.1 - 2 - E3.pkg to your own desktop machine.

  If you cannot download this file with your account, then you can use that account and password when you set up the sensor for updates automatic cisco.com.

  If you can not download the file with your account, your account does not have the right settings.

  Your account does not have access crypto or your account is not correctly connected to your service contract for your sensors.

  There are a handful of countries not allowed access crypto, users of other countries would just get their account changed to crypto access (I'm not sure what is this procedure).

• How failover in two survey periods?

  Hello

  Its can issue interview please give me an idea to make failover at IPS 6.1 or anything? And how its work I try to look for I have not the right solution.

  Help on the same.

  Presilia Adte.

  Hi Pascal,.

  There is no mechanism built into the IPS software failover.

  Redundancy can be achieved by two sensors chaining on interfaces capable of HW derivation or put sensors on several areas of your network and let the layer 2 connectivity to send the traffic through one or the other.

• RE: update IDS4210 to Signature S289

  Hello

  With respect to improving the network of the device IDS above, just read through the "Cisco IPS Active update Bulletin: 05/06/2007" which was sent to me he States:

  "The update of the signature S289 DO can apply to 5,0000 E1 version or later sensors as follows:

  "This update of the signature is taken in charge on the IDS 4210, IDS-4215, IDS-4235, IPS-4240, 4250-IDS, IPS-4255 and sensor devices IPS-4260 series.

  But to read the Readme file on the site it says:

  "The upgrade of IPS-GIS-S289-req file - E1.pkg can be applied to.

  the following sensor platforms:

  -Sensors, IPS-42xx Cisco Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)

  "- Intrusion (IDS) of Cisco IDS-42xx detection system sensors (except the IDS-4210, 4220-ID and ID-4230).

  What is the good?

  A little confused.

  Kind regards

  Mark

  It is a grey area.

  The IDS 4210 found end of sale December 6, 2003:

  http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/products/HW/vpndevc/PS4077/prod_eol_notice09186a008032d508.html

  By the strategy of Cisco, it will support updates the signature on a near-end sensor sales for at least 3 years from the end of sale. So update of Signature support was guaranteed by the policy only up to the last 3 dec 3006.

  http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/products/HW/vpndevc/PS4077/prod_bulletin0900aecd80358daa.html

  However, nothing has been done to intentionally prevent signature extract newer than Dec 2006 to be installed on an IDS 4210.

  I'm not aware of any project at this stage to intentionally prevent installation of updates of peg on a 4210 IDS.

  In addition, understand that politics is a minimum of 3 years, but I don't know how much longer, 3 years he would be officially supported.

  5.1 IPS software will continue to receive updates of signature for a period of 18 months, and it is possible that these GIS 5.1 updates will continue to be installable on a 4210 IDS.

  This confusion is probably why the 2 documents are not synchronized.

  In addition the signature update readme E1 was written for updates of 6.0 and IDS-4210 is not supported in 6.0. 5.1 versions did not pass to E1 only later. When the readme file has been updated to cover the two 5.1 and 6.0, it is possible that the change of platform support list (to add IDS-4210) was just gone unnoticed. So, I'm not sure if she was intentionally set no support for IDS-4210 or if it was a mistake of editing.

  Personally, I would recommend go ahead and install it (except off your config before moving just in case).

  If it installs OK (no bugs don't pop up during installation), then you should be fine works on your ID-4210.

  But if problems arise in the installation of an update future signature, then you click on this grey area. And I don't know what the answer would be if that were to happen.

  I'll send an email to our in-house team and see what the word "official" is on ID-4210 sig update support.

  However, I recommend that you go ahead and see about upgrading to a new model of sensor.

• 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.
