SourceFire IPS updates

We are developing a new firewall with IPS SFP modules in them that will be managed by an application of SourceFire Security Center (1500 series)

I know with the old IPS systems, modules would get their updates of signature directly. Now they get their updates of software and signature of the Management Server? (this would make things a lot easier)

Hello Colin

Yes, your Firesight Management Center Gets all the updates rules and Intrusion policies get updated and redeployed to your probes.

  • IPS UPDATE LICENSE QUESTION

    Hello

    We have recently updated the contract to get updates for IP addresses, but we get the error message attached when we try to get with the cisco username and password updates that contain the contract.
    someone knows this error?

    Hi El Salvador,

    This error may be the cause of the update contract not completely.

    Have you tried to generate the license manually of cisco.com/go/license file and download even on IPS? Please try it once even.

    There is a way to delete the old license file in the database via the account root and then try again. For this I recommend prosecution with TAC.

    Kind regards

  • Sourcefire IPS throughput

    Hello.

    Cisco provides that Sourcefire 8140 can go up to 6G, up to 10G 8250 and 8360 can go up to 30G. Is it true values?

    Someone at - he of the values of real throughput with license service IPS and APPs? I know that this flow can be different from the same unit in different circumstances; but I'm being advised to buy a 8360 for a flow 6 Giga and I think 8250 should be sufficient. I expect 20-30% less bitrate not 80% less.

    Anyone with experience on that?

    Thank you

    João Carvalho.

    These numbers are the flow you will get if you only IPS. Including control of applications (I guess that's what means 'APPs') and the discovery of the network would take the expected of a 8140 2.5 Gbps throughput.

    I suggest to go with one on a 8200 8300 as the former has all but replaced by.

    You must work with your security account manager to identify your needs and get a recommendation on which device should be.

  • FireSight/SourceFire IPS licenses

    With my package, I received two orders + protect licenses. They have no expiration in the licenses of the UI part and were a SKU to $0 on the command. I bought only the subscription, no IPS or malicious URL filtering software. However when I create and implement strategies of intrusion in FireSight UI does not complain.

    Is the component functional IPS based on control + protect the licenses that I received?

    Control / Protect licenses should be attributed to modules to ensure all features of the any other feature licenses.

    It is true that they are not necessarily error when you did not. but features can fail in more subtle ways depending on how your policies are made.

  • the IPS update server IP

    Hello

    If I want to configure IP addresses for automatic updates, it asked for the ip address of the update server, what is this ip address? This automatic update configuration it takes to update the signature, or is it for other updates?

    concerning

    You cannot point to the Cisco site, you need host your own internal server for this purpose. Personally, I do not use or recommend to upgrades of version in this directory (I think he'll try to apply, if you do). We use the CLI interface for installation of version upgrades. We use the automatic update to install signature updates.

  • installation of update of signature for JOINT-2 AIP - SSM

    Hi every one, im not sure about this issue but I think its beter ask you experts.i want to know that if I update the signature for example for my JOINT-2 can I install this update of GIS on my AIP - SSM--> assume that software IPS on both devices are same and I also installed the license key valid on AIP - SSM.now can I do this or not? and I know that if you do not license installed on JOINT-2 you cannot install any point of GIS on JOINT-2 but this topic AIP - SSM? I want to say I can install updated GIS on AIP - SSM without installed the license key valid on AIP - SSM? Thank you

    There are 3 main types of Signature updates.

    (1) IPS sensor Signature Update

    (2) updates of Signature CSM for IPS sensors

    (3) signing IOS IPS updates

    The IPS Signature Update file name is in the form: IPS-GIS-Sxxx-req - Ey.pkg

    That's probably what you are referrnig to in your message. This file can be installed on ANY device IDS/IPS or Module.

    Here, the requirement is not the platform but rather the level of the engine. The part "req - Ey" in the file name indicates that the sensor has already run the 'y' the software engine level.

    If a file IPS-GIS-S436-req - E3.pkg can be installed on any IDS/IPS device or Module as long as the software on this sensor is a version of the 'E3 '.

    The CSM updates are updates of signature for the Cisco Security Manager. They contain special files that SCM uses to update, and then also included in the JLC update is the update of real sensor described above. CSM unpackages the CSM update, updates and then uses this file embedded to upgrade the actual sensor.

    The third type of file is for routers IOS loaded with the special IOS software that has the distinction of IOS IPS where the router itself (instead of a separate module of the IDS/IPS) keeps track of the signature.

    These updates to the signing IOS IPS settle on the real router and are not installed on the Modules or the sensor IDS/IPS devices.

    So to answer your question, yes the same Signature Update for your JOINT-2 is the exact same Signature Update for your SSM modules.

    The same exact file is available through several different paths on cisco.com. But no matter which way cisco.com you have downloaded the file, you can always install it on all the Modules and the IDS/IPS Appliances.

    With respect to licensing, the license works the same on all Modules and the IDS/IPS Appliances. A license must be on the sensor for the Signature Update to apply.

    NOTE: A trial license is available at cisco.com for new sensors to allow you to get everything set up properly for your sensor to be covered by a service contract and get the standard license for the service contract.

  • Site updated signature Cisco down?

    I just noticed that I was not doing my daily updates since Sunday.  I get the following error:

    Automatic download of work report:

    No file available for download.

    Error: Unable to communicate with the location service for recovering files available.

    Has anyone else seen elsewhere?

    This seems to be an intermittent problem, becomes more visible today (don't know if it took place before today). If you need emergency a signature update file, for now (as a solution), you can manually download the file here:

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

    And place it in the CSCOpx\MDC\ips\updates directory on your system (Cisco Security Manager) CSM.

    If you have time, if you could let us know what www.cisco.com decides on your CSM system. ? This can help to confirm/track down the source of the problem. You should be able to do this from a command prompt (cmd.exe) on the CSM system using the nslookup utility. Example:

    C:\nslookup www.cisco.com

  • IPS monitoring events Notes

    Hi all

    I have a group of IPS/IDS installed in our monitoring network of several segments.

    Usually and for the years seems always assorted events high severity or average lower and information.

    For about two months and so far, while monitoring the IPS/IDS, I noticed that I am not finding any event with high severity or average before there was daily sheets with high & gravity medium and all the Group of IPS / IDS is assigned with the same behavior not only on a single device.

    I will be happy if everything works normally with no corresponding severity, but I'm afraid that there is something wrong with the monitoring of our systems IPS /IDS.

    I find logs with gravity low and informational only.

    Please let know us if I can do the troubleshooting procedures

    Kind regards

    Software updates also contain an update of the signature. Any signature applied to a sensor IPS update will change the existing settings of the signing of the probe. New signings will be activated and existing signatures may be changed to provide better performance or to retire if they live on their usefulness.

    Configuration of the probe can be modified to affect what light signatures as well by setting the filters to event and action event overrides.

  • How can power of fire management Center 6.0 - I Add Licenses of sensor.

    Hello friends,

    I bought licenses for the 4 sensors 'L-ASA5525-TA = "and they didn't come with any file PAK to add on the FMC.".  I contacted the Department of licensing and they tell me there is no PAK file for this product, since it is a complementary (BELIEVES) end user license agreement.  I'm confused, how do I get the licenses installed and works?

    Thanks in advance,

    Martin

    The type of license TA's IPS. TAC is correct that it does not include a separate license. It is rather a right of subscription to the IPS updates (updated rule Snort and vulnerability Database - SRU and VDB) via the Talos of Cisco's Cloud Computing service. As the right itself is not currently applied through technical means, there is no separate license associated with.

    The ASA base firepower module should have included no control license costs. If you swap that using the FMC license key, it will be show as "Protect + Control" and allow you to build protection against intrusions and related policies.

    The YOUR license allows you (by virtue of having bought it and accepted the additional EULA) for the SRU on demand or scheduled and VDB, updates to these policies use threatens the latest information available.
