can u tell me OS version of the cisco IPS you talking about? my dealer said that Cisco IPS composes of a Cisco IDS(alternatily called an IPS) v.5 OS which is not yet available. Currently Cisco IPS works on v.4.1.4 IDS OS which is in every Cisco IDS (ex 4235), but when v.5 will become available it will be replaced for free on IPS boxes. Hence true IPS function is not yet available. On Thu, 6 Jan 2005 14:18:10 -0600, Billy Dodson <billy () pmicromart com> wrote:
The cisco IPS is not quite what I thought it was going to be. The IPS is intended for use at branch offices or remote users where you would not normally spring for a fire-walling device. The IPS is nothing more then a IOS router with IOS firewall and the IDS engine. The IPS is just software that runs on a cisco router. It can use around 740 signatures from the cisco IDS to run its "prevention". It basically turns your router into a small IDS/firewall. It will be able to create access lists or shuns on the fly. The same as a current cisco IDS works in conjunction with an IOS router or PIX firewall. This device is not intended to be the first line of defense within the network. The cisco IPS is not replacing the cisco IDS. The cisco IDS is still a good product and can be used as a prevention device when used in conjunction with a router or firewall. You can configure the sensor to send commands to the router or firewall to Shun the connection or create an access list on a router. -----Original Message----- From: loloinfo () free fr [mailto:loloinfo () free fr] Sent: Monday, January 03, 2005 5:52 AM To: Christoph Pertl (tm011081) Cc: focus-ids () securityfocus com Subject: Re: CISCOs new IPS is it CSA ??????????????

Does anyone of you now something about this machine or at least abouttheolder IDS-Box because I think the Inspection Engine will be the same?
