IPS software V6.0 on ID-4250XL

• The IPS software version

  Just got an ASA with a SSM - 20 module. I am trying to determine the latest revision of sensor for the IPS module software. V5.1 (7) E1 has a date of October 18, 2007 and the 3,0000 E1 version has a date June 28, 2007. Which is the latest version?

  6.x is the latest version. What you're talking about are simply patch levels. It is certainly possible that the versions 5.x and 6.x are both actively maintained (I was not paying much attention to 5.x since coming to 6.x). The press release or the patch 'most recent' is compared to the version of the software you are using. IOW, if 8,0000 E1 is released tomorrow, 3,0000 E1 is still the latest hotfix for customers running 6.x.

• Management of the IPS software modules

  Is it posible to manage software module IPS (ASA5555-X) in a different way than with ASA interface management (via IP) or should I use int mgmt if I want to use IPS?

  If you want to use the GUI, you must use the management interface.

  You can ssh (or telnet - not recommended because it is not secure) in the ASA of any interface where you have enabled ssh access and session to CLI (painful but possible) configuration module.

• ASA-SSM-20/40 IPS Software upgrade quesiton

  I'm looking to upgrade the IPS modules (ASA-SSM-20 and ASA-SSM-40) on two different ASA to ver 7.1 (11) E4 under this field notice:

  http://www.Cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/field-notices/640/fn64080.html

  My question is around if traffic through the firewall is affected during this update and subsequent restart of the IPS module.

  On the ASAs, a service policy is in place that will allow the traffic in the case where the IPS module becomes unavailable.  It comes, it will actually happen during the update?

  Suggestions and comments are welcome.

  Thanks in advance.

  If your IPS is inline and as a whole do not open then the traffic through the ASA (in assuming an ASA standalone and do not form part of a pair of HA) will not be affected when the service IPS module reload.

  If an SAA is in a pair of HA and a service (ips, cxsc, or sfr) module fails, it will be by default triggers a failover event. (ASA 9.5 introduces the possibility to change this behavior.) The result is the same - no service interruption (Although TCP connections may need to restore if you have not configured stateful failover).

• backup IPS to TFTP software

  on my module AIP-SSM-10 ASA5520 how I backup software (v5.0) IPS to my TFTP server?

  cause I need to reimage a testASA with this software IPS.

  When the software is installed on the MHS it is unpacked and expanded on the sensor compact flash. It does not exist on the MSS in a single file. So you can't copy the software out of the SSM.

  To remedy this, you must download the software from Cisco's Web site.

  This is the homepage for IPS software:

  http://www.Cisco.com/Kobayashi/SW-Center/ciscosecure/IDs/crypto/

  Trying to recreate the image a SSM and do not care of what was previously available, then you will want to use an Image of 'system '.

  On the main page of the IPS software look for Version 5.x section, then find the system section and recovery of Images and then click on the link to the AIP - SSM. It will take you to this page:

  http://www.Cisco.com/Kobayashi/SW-Center/ciscosecure/IDs/crypto/

  If you really want to version 5.0, then you can download and use this file:

  IPS-SSM-K9-sys-1.1-a-5.0-2.img

  BUT understand that it is a very old version and new signatures can not be loaded on this old version.

  I recommend you rather load the latest version 5.1:

  IPS-SSM-K9-sys-1.1-a-5.1-5-E1.img

  Here are the instructions to install the System Image file:

  http://www.Cisco.com/univercd/CC/TD/doc/product/iaabu/csids/csids12/cliguide/cliimage.htm#wp1032373

  BUT be aware that a System Image installation will eliminate all your configurations on the MSS as well.

  If you are wanting to 'UPGRADE' rather than make a new full image, then do not use the system installation process Image and instead use uprgade files and install with the upgrade process:

  To get the 5.1 get last version the last 5,0000 E1 put here:

  http://www.Cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/ips5

  IPS - K9 - 5.1 - 5 - E1.pkg

  Using these instructions to upgrade:

  http://www.Cisco.com/univercd/CC/TD/doc/product/iaabu/csids/csids12/cliguide/cliimage.htm#wp1064238

  You can then get a license (you'll need a service contract)

  And install the last update of Signature from here:

• AAA support on IPS modules

  Hello

  Anyone know if/when the aaa support will be added to the IPS software?

  Thank you

  Andrew.

  Not a technical reason; just a matter of resources.

  Not enough engineers to do the features both features should be a priority for each version. AAA has not made it to the top of the list of priorities at the moment.

• GANYMEDE stop IPS packages

  Hi all

  It's my script, Switch--FirstIntPair--PIXInside--PIXOutside--SecondIntPair--Hub--Internetrouter.

  I have two pairs of interface (please don't ask me why). A conflict between switch and pix inside interface and another between pix outside and the internet router.

  Now, when I'm doing telnet to my internet router (I had GANYMEDE) it does not. Now if I use a local user name password it connects. Study further I discovered on GANYMEDE debugging I see Ganymede packages are getting expired. Now when I did an inspection of derivation on my IPS everything works fine. When I activate the inspection again, it stops working. There is no event log for this all no signature of shooting up nothing. Can someone tell me whats going on. Any help much appreciated.

  -Hoogen

  What version of IPS software are you running?

  I'm not very well informed on GANYMEDE.

  If it uses a TCP connection, the following information may help.

  If you're running 5.1, then the normalizer can be denied packets if the GANYMEDE packages must go through two pairs of interface.

  The normalizer confused when the same packet is seen twice, especially when a firewall can be modify the package. The normalizer can get confused trying to follow the tcp sequence numbers.

  We do not recommend surveillance 2 pairs of interface in 5.1 if some even traffic must flow through the two pairs.

  If you run 6.0, then what kind of sensor you?

  If the sensor supports virtualization, and then create a new virtual sensor and move one of your interface to the other virtual sensor pairs.

  If the sensor 6.0 does not support virtualization (such as the IDS-4215), then there is a new option in 6.0 'inline-TCP-session-tracking-mode '. Set this option to "interface-and-vlan". Thus the sensor will track traffic on each interface pair independently in order to prevent more normalizer problems.

  I don't know if the above information will help you to solve your particular problem.

  Other things to check if it isn't.

  RADIUS traffic may be triggering a signature.

  Run "show events" on your sensor CLI and run your GANYMEDE connection to see if the signatures are triggers that may have a deny action.

  You can even try setting an action event substitute for products-alert event for risk between 1-100 action and try again the "events to see the. There are a few signatures that don't create default alerts (intentionally), but will create alerts with the substitution of the event action. You can see if maybe one of them is raised.

  (Don't forget to disable the substitution of products-alert action event when you're done diagnose.) Many of the signatures that do not produce a default alert can be quite noisy because they monitor to normal traffic and are juts parts/components of a Meta Signature, seeking the attack itself)

• Temporarily disable IPS

  We have a 5510 ASA with a module AIP - SSM IPS. From time to time I need to face a scanner of network active in the DMZ from the inside network. Of course the IPS will block most of the scanners. Is there an easy way to temporarily disable IPS while the scans are running? Each command line or through the ASDM?

  In addition to the filter ideas mentioned elsewhere, the fire to get the IPS of the road is to set its derivation mode on 'on' (vice auto defaults to). This will cause the IPS software to turn around packages without inspection.

• IPS 6.1 and ASA / versions ASDM

  I've upgraded to the latest version 6.1 for my IPS module, but now I can't get the IPS via the ASDM or IME config. I can however at the CLI. I have to upgrade my ASDM on the ASA, ASA, or both? I have included a copy of the IME of logs. I also have the IPS through the IDM. My version of the SAA is 7.1 (2) and the ASDM 5.1 (2). Any help would be apperciated.

• IPS on a 1841 3825 vs

  I'm new to IPS applications and I was wondering if there is any difference in the IPS software I installed on my router 1841 vs the IPS software on a 3825 router, I am looking into buying. On the 1841, I use IOS c1841-advsecurityk9 - mz.124 - 21.bin and on the c3825-advsecurityk9 - mz.124 - 3j.bin 3825

  The IPS software functionality and the selection of the signature is the same between these two platforms. But the transformation of the IPS has a toll on the CPU and memory. The 3825 will have more of these available resources and could handle a large amount of traffic as a result.

• IPS Signature license

  Dear,

  I would like to know if we have the Cisco ASA smartnet with module AIP - SSM, cisco is also includes signature IPS with the smartnet license or is it separately, to buy?

  Thank you best regards &,.

  IPS signature license must be purchased separately. SMARTnet covers only the material and also download the IPS software, more support of TAC.

• Updated AIP-SSM-10 on ASA 5510

  Hello

  I want to upgrade the IPS module in an ASA 5510, and I have a few questions. The AIP - SSM is running E3 479.0 1.0000 and I have a valid account of the ORC etc for this.

  1. What is the version of the software on the question of the ASA?
  2. When I look in the software downloads< ips="" there="" are="" .pkg="" and="" .img="" files.="" i="" want="" to="" upgrade="" to="" 6.3(3)e4.="" do="" i="" have="" to="" re-image="" the="" ips="">
  3. AFAIK redefinition to wipe the device so I just reload the config after, right?
  4. I guess I can apply any update after going to E4?
  5. Can you give me links for this upgrade?

  see you soon

  Let me give some clarification on a few points:

  2. There is no need to recreate the image on the device using the .img file.  You can improve the mechanism of maintenance of your existing configuration using the .pkg file.  It is the recommended method for upgrading to Cisco IPS devices/modules.  The .img file to recreate the image should only be used to restore the default device.

  5 here are links for the upgrade of the probe using a .pkg file.  For updates through the IDM user interface:

  http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/docs/security/IPS/6.2/configuration/guide/IDM/idm_sensor_management.html#wp2126670

  For upgrades via the CLI:

  http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/docs/security/IPS/6.2/configuration/guide/CLI/cli_system_images.html#wp1142504

  Another point of clarification; current releases of IPS software supported on the AIP-SSM-10 are (taking into account you are currently running 6.2 (1) E3):

  6.2 (3) E4

  7.0 (4) E4

  You can go directly to each output.

• Is IME now EOL (End of Life)?

  I noticed today in search of new versions IME that the product and support pages for State of IME is EOL, but give no information or links to official notice of EOL.  Does anyone have more information?

  Yes. See this notice.

  Down near the bottom, it says "end of life announcement covers all the Cisco IPS family, including all hardware, software and licenses, without exception. The IPS software also includes management applications: IPS Device Manager (IDM) and IPS Manager Express (IME). »

• Getting started: ASA5520 w / AIP - SSM

  I'm trying to deploy an ASA5520 to a customer. I have no problem with the piece of implementing firewall, but I don't know where to start with the piece of IPS.

  I searched a bit on the ASA55XX & AIP - SSM, but can't seem to find much on what to do with the AIP - SSM beyond the initial Setup.

  Can someone point me to some beginners IPS documentation that focuses on the AIP - SSM?

  Thank you

  Jeff

  In my view, there is a lack of documentation on how to get the IPS module to work with the ASA. It would be nice if there was a single document on how to get IPS working module with the ASA.

  Start with the documentation of the IPS. It's just on how to configure the IPS himself module. Assign an IP address for management, set the admin password, etc..

  http://www.Cisco.com/univercd/CC/TD/doc/product/iaabu/csids/csids12/index.htm

  Then go to the documentation of the SAA on how to configure ASA to send traffic to IP addresses (via a service-policy):

  http://www.Cisco.com/univercd/CC/TD/doc/product/iaabu/csids/csids11/cliguide/clissm.htm#wp1033926

  There is a free viewer of IPS Cisco event offering to monitor events on the IPS. It can be downloaded from the download page of the Cisco IPS software.

  Finally, read the whitepaper SAFE on the deployment of the IPS and the setting.

  http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/NetSol/ns340/ns394/ns171/ns128/networking_solutions_white_paper09186a00801bc111.shtml
