• Cisco IPS 4200 Signature Update

  We are currently under evaluation and implementation of the Cisco IPS solution to our security needs.

  Our supplier has said that the signature 'online' updates to Cisco IPS is not possible - this is a manual process and we need to charge the device if you want to update the files.

  Somehow, it defies logic. Surely, I think, that any IP address should have the possibility of obtaining signatures updated "online".

  I apologize, because that question is too basic in nature. But could someone shed more light on this?

  Thank you.

  You have auto update functionality of Cisco IPS version 6.0, take a look at the attached picture.

  Update of signatures is * recommended * that you reload the signatures (restart the sensor), although this is not mandatory.

  Our IPS has not been restarted for over two months now and everything is working ok.

• S371 signature Update error code

  I am trying to update my sensor to S371 and receive the following errors. I upgrade to a Director of virtual machines on a unit 4240. I was able to update S370 successfully. Any help is appreciated.

  Withdrawing now.

  I am unsure of your Setup, but the package of sensor s371 from here:

  http://www.Cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/ips6-sigup

  can be used to update your sensor (s). This however leaves you with a version of the sensor out of sync to the version number for the CSM sensor.

• Signature - updated antivirus definition

  All,

  I worry a bit with the version of update of virus that I see when I run a 'see the version' on our IPS (AIP-SSM-10)

  I get the following output...

  Definition of signature:

  Update of the signature S369.0 2008-12-06

  Virus update V1.4 2007-03-02

  I thought the update of virus was included in the definitions of signature, and as a result, I would have expected the date should be the same on both (i.e. 2008-12-06).

  Can someone explain if that's OK? where I can get the latest virus update...

  Thanks in advance for your help

  Steve

  Steve-

  This isn't something you have to worry. This surfaces topic on a regular basis, so I'll quote two of the best answers of marcabal and mhellman.

  This is the latest version.

  V signatures are created by Trend Micro Systems when a major virus/worm outbreak occurs and an update of emergency is necessary.

  The V update can then be deployed via a Cisco ICS Management Server.

  But it was not a great emergnecy epidemic in the last 2 years that required a special signature update V.

  Instead the signatures of viruses/worms the last two years have come to be included in the procedure of updating signature standard and figuratively in our standard S signature levels without the need of special emergency updates.

  Often the vulnerability was already detected by an update of standard signature S before the virus/worm started to spread.

  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).

• 2651XM IPS Signature Update?

  Hello

  I have a 12.4 (25) running to 2651XM 256 MB / 32 MB and I want to update the IPS signature file.  I see that the last update for 256MB.sdf made since August 2008.  The recent IPS that I found is IPS-GIS-S518-req - E4.pkg of

  http://tools.cisco.com/support/downloads/go/PlatformList.x?sftType=Intrusion+Prevention+System+%28IPS%29+Signature+Updates&mdfid=277801011&treeName=Security&mdfLevel=Model&url=null&modelName=Cisco+2651XM+Multiservice+Router&isPlatform=N&treeMdfId=268438162&modifmdfid=278279418&imname=Cisco+IDS+Access+Router+Network+Module&hybrid=Y&imst=Y

  I tried the command

  property intellectual ips homeless location flash:\\IPS-sig-S518-req-E4.pkg

  &

  property intellectual ips homeless flash location: IPS-GIS-S518-req - E4.pkg

  but when I apply an IPS for an interface and execution "show ip IP addresses of all the ' no signature doesn't load and I get the message"invalid token ".

  I tried to see if the latest SDM will help too but nothing.

  My question is, what am I doing wrong or missing?  My router is too old to be able to get the latest signature files?

  Advice or tips to the right direction is appreciated.

  Thank you

  You have a version of IOS, which includes the old version of the IOS IPS feature (known as v4).  This version only supports signature updates using the SDF formatted files.  These files are is more updated.

  The updated signature file you found (ending in .pkg) is accompanied by appliances Cisco IPS signature update package and is not compatible with the IOS IPS feature set.

  The current IOS IPS feature (called v5) also uses the .pkg files.  You have to pass your 2651 IOS to a version of the T train such as version 12.4 (24) T2 for the newest IOS IPS.

  You can find more information about the features of IOS IPS here:

• signature update error

  Hello

  My client got an error when installing new IPS signature:

  Cannot upgrade the software on the sensor.
  Date of license of the target system is too old to treat the config with the version S561.0
  I assume that the license key has expired and not installed new license key at IPS. Is this right?
  Best regards
  Jackson

  Yes, you are right. You need a valid license in order to apply the updates to the signature.

  You can get a license of TIME trail ONLY 60 days for each sensor you own (licenses are specific sensor so may not be transferred between the sensors)

  Software updates can always be applied to the sensor, even with an expired license. Each software update also includes the current signature pack from the release date of the software update. Frequent software updates include the new new engines of signature and signatures with these engines. The first version of these new signatures are "far from perfect" and sometimes noisy, look a little more work than your standard signature update required.

• IPS Signature updates

  My client has not installed updates signature in 2011. It is now ready to begin a planned update procedure. My question is: are the cumulative updates, i.e., by upgrading today, am I get all the latest signatures by the most recent (s615 today).

  Yes the signature updates are cumulative, but they do not depend on a minimal version of the software. If you are already running any release of E4, you can access the end of the signature update and install S615.

• Question about IPS signature updates.

  I installed ASA5510 (with AIP10) on our customer site. But I can't find out how to upgrade the IPS signature. Automatic update is possible? i.e. through CCE id.

  Our client is not MC IDS. What should we do? Let me know, please.

  Without MC there are no automatic updates directly from CEC. However, you can configure a local server (SSH or FTP) and copy packages to update signature for this EAC server. Then, you can run a manual upgrade of IDM (https://1.2.3.4) or the CLI (session in the ASA SSM card) or set up a schedule of automatic upgrade that will modernize the sensor on the local server periodically. To configure the auto updates, IDM would be the easiest to use. If you want to do a manual upgrade here is an example for the CLI:

  session # 1

  # conf t

  # ssh host 1.2.3.4

  # upgrade scp:[email protected]/ * ///home/user/upgrades/ IPS-sig-S192-minreq-5.0-1.pkg

• License and trial IPS signature updates

  Hi all

  We have an AIP - SSM-20, I installed a trial license in the meantime that the contract. I don't know how I can get the signature files but I can't download it from the site and auto-update fails with permission.

  Is is possible to get these with a trial license?

  Thank you!

  Jacques

  The trial license itself affects only if the sensor will allow you to install files.

  The trial license not has no effect on whether or not your cisco.com username will be able to access the files.

  You have a representative Cisco you work with? If yes then contact him/her. They should be able to get approval for your username, or download the files themselves and provide them.

  If they download them for you, you will not be able to test the function "auto-update", but at least will be able to install them manually.

• IPS Signature Update S480?

  I noticed that the software for the update of the E4 engine has been recorded for all IPS devices, but no corresponding signature (yet).  Also, I see that IPS for MARCH updates now have an update for S480 available, but no corresponding signature for IPS.

  Is this just a confusion with release dates?  Or am I just missing where are S480 signatures?  In addition, S480 will be the first set of sigs out for E4 engine?

  Anyone who had seen?

  Yes, you are absolutely right. Engine E4 is the latest version of IP addresses, and it comes with signature # 480 as the first signature packet.

• Cisco ASA aip - ssm signature update

  Hello

  Is it possible to dynamically update the signatures directly from Cisco IPS? I can only find configuration guides where the IPS module queries an internal server...?

  Thank you

  Yes, you can update IPS signature directly from cisco.com if you run IPS version 6.1 and higher.

  This is the configuration for your reference doc:
