IDS 4230 - End of Software Support = No Signature Update?

I have one question regarding to Product Bulletin, No. 1772 - "End-of-Sale Announcement for Cisco Intrusion Detection System 4230 Platform"
According to the bulletin, the date of End of software support is July 31, 2005. Does it mean the signate update for this platfrom will not be available after July 31, 2005 or it just mean that the new version of the IDS sensor software will no longer support this platform.

As for your first question about replacing EOL equipment with another EOL equipment.
Ordinarily this would not be done, except that the IDS-4230 has hardware issues and were eligible for a no cost replacement program.
Under ordinary circumstances a failed IDS-4230 would only have been replaced with a refurbished IDS-4230.
But because of the hardware issues a failed IDS-4230 will be replaced with a IDS-4235.
RMA processes are not meant to be used for free upgrades to the newest products. The RMA process is only for replacing of failed products with either the original product or a suitable replacement. The IDS-4235 is a suitable replacement for the IDS-4230 because it has higher performance and a longer period of support.
Customers wanting to purchase a new IDS-4230 or IDS-4235 are directed to purcahse an IPS-4240 instead.
As for signature support on the IDS-4230.
The IDS-4230 signature support is tied to the End of Signature support for the version 4.1 software.
I have yet to see an official notification on CCO for the end of signature support for the IDS 4.1 software.
What this tells you is that the end of support is still more than six months away.
The posting of the notification will give you a minimum 6 months notice.
So as of the end of November you can feel comfortable that signature support for 4.1 will extend beyond end of May 2006.
Unofficially I have heard end of signature support for 4.1 being around August/September 2006, but that is still subject to change until a formal notice is posted on CCO.

2651XM IPS Signature Update?

Hello,
I have a 2651XM 256MB/32MB running 12.4(25) and I would like to update the IPS signature file. I see that the last update for 256MB.sdf was from Aug 2008. The latest IPS I found is IPS-sig-S518-req-E4.pkg from
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've tried the command
ip ips sdf location flash:\\IPS-sig-S518-req-E4.pkg
ip ips sdf location flash:IPS-sig-S518-req-E4.pkg
but when I apply IPS to an interface and run 'show ip ips all' no signatures load and I get a message 'invalid token'.
I also tried seeing if the latest SDM will help but nothing.
My question is, what is it that I am doing wrong or missing? Is my router too old to be able to get the latest signature files?
Any advice or guidance to the right direction is much appreciated.
Thanks

You have a version of IOS that includes the older version of the IOS IPS feature (referred to as v4). This release only supports signature updates using the SDF formatted files. These files are no longer updated.
The signature update file you found (ending in .pkg) is the signature update package supported by Cisco's IPS appliances and is not compatible with the IOS IPS feature set.
The current IOS IPS feature (referred to as v5) also makes use of .pkg files. You will need to upgrade the IOS of your 2651 to a release in the T train such as 12.4(24)T2 to obtain the latest IOS IPS feature release.
You can find out more about the IOS IPS feature set here:
http://www.cisco.com/go/iosips

End of 5.1(x) signature support

I'm planning my 5.x to 6.0 migrations for the year and was looking for any official Cisco statements on the End of Life/End of Sale for 5.1(x) without success. How much longer can we expect to receive 5.x signature support?

Cisco has not yet announced an End of Life or End of Sale (EOL/EOS) dates for 5.1(x).
What this means is that End of Signature support is longer than a year away.
End of signature support will be at least a year after Cisco announces EOL/EOS.
So you still have at least 1 year and possibly longer before you are forced to upgrade to 6.x for signature updates.

Verifying the Correct Signature Updates, Management Software, and Version

I am working today at a Client Site where I installed several months ago a Cisco IPS 4240 Sensor. The Sensor is currently running Version 6.0(3)E1.
I am not certain how to proceed with respect to signature updates on this box.
Under signature definition, it lists the following:
Signature Update S291.0 2007-06-18
I have noticed on the Security Software Page for IPS that the latest Signature File is S336. Should I install this on the IPS? In order to perform this, will it take down the IPS unit?
Also, there are several Management applications listed under the "Network IPS/IDS Management/Monitoring Software" heading, including: IME, IPC MC, and ICS. I am already using IDM as well as IEV respectively to Configure/ Monitor and then IEV to Alarm on certain Events. What are IME, IPC MC, and ICS and how are they different from IDM and IEV??

IME = Intrusion Prevention Manager Express
- IME is fairly new (released only a month or 2 ago) IME is a next generation of IEV. It does the event monitoring of IEV, but is also able to do configuration similar to IDM. So it is IEV and IDM in one tool. The configuration screens of IME will only work IPS 6.1, but the event monitoring screens will work with 5.1, 6.0, and 6.1.
IPS MC = Intrusion Prevention System Management Center
IPS MC was a part of VMS (VPN and Security Management System). IPS MC was configuration of a large number of sensors.
IPS MC and VMS are both End Of Saled and were replaced with CSM
CSM = Cisco Security Manager
CSM is a multi-security device configuration management system. It is targeted at Enterprise customers with more than 5 sensors.
ICS = Intrusion Containment System
ICS was a product produced by Trend Micro Systems. Trend could create signatures for Viruses and Worms and then send an update to ICS and ICS would then create the signatures on the sensors. These signatures were known as the V signatures.
ICS has been End of Saled
So from your perspective you need not be concerned with IPS MC (VMS) or ICS.
IME should be of interest to you as an upgrade from IEV (IME like IEV is available as part of your existing sensor support contracts and is not an additional charge).
As you upgrade sensors to IPS v6.1 you might consider upgrading IEV to IME.
CSM (and also MARS) would be of interest if you are going to manage more than 5 sensors. (IME and IEV are limited to 5 sensors).

You usually have to use the program's uninstaller utility for such things as Symantec. Read this:

You may need to install it all over again, just to use its uninstaller.

If you are using PureFTP, then use it.
Server Admin is NOT designed to work in conjunction with non-Apple, 3rd-party products, or non-Apple configs of 3rd-party items such as Postfix or Amavisd, and certainly not for non-Apple-provided ftp services. Ignore Server Admin completely for FTP if you are using PureFTP.

Cannot upgrade software on sensor due to digital signature update file

Attached is a jpg of the error message when trying to apply update through IDM for the latest version:
IPS-SSM_20-K9-sys-1.1-a-7.0-6-E4.img
I've downloaded the image twice now from Cisco. I've done a token reboot but that didnt help.
I did apply the recovery image right before this with no issues.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
J

You've experience a very common area of confusion.
There are multiple different file types of the same version.
Some of which can be applied through IDM and CLI, and otherwise which can only be applied through other methods.
Basic Types:
System Images
Recovery Packages
Uprgade Packages
System Images have "-sys-" in the filename and generally end in .img.
These files can Not be installed through IDM or the CLI.
These files will erase the entire compact flash and install a completely new image on the system.
These files are generally only used when trying to get back to an Older image, or when you believe that the current image on the sensor has been Corrupted.
They are not recommended for upgrading as the configuration of the sensor will be completely removed during erasing of the compact flash.
They are installed through either ROMMON (on appliances), from the hw-module recover command of the ASA (on ASA IPS modules), through the bootloader (on AIM and NME router modules), or through the maintenance partition (in the IDSM2 Cat 6K module).
In your case it was a System Image you were trying to install through IDM, which is not allowed.
Recovery Packages have "-r-" in the filename and end in .pkg.
They will re-image the Recovery partition of the sensor.
They are installed using IDM or the CLI upgrade command. (.pkg files work with the Upgrade command)
The "recover" command on the sensor can then be used to boot to the Recovery Partition and re-image the Application partition to that version.
The "recover" can be done from a remote box through an SSH connection to the sensor. Unlike System Images which often require a Console connection or connection to the hosting device.
Recovery Packages are recommended when you believe that the current image on the sensor has been Corrupted.
They can often be used for Downgrading to an older version, but this is not officially supported (and will sometimes fail, if it fails then you need to use a System Image instead).
Upgrade Packages come in different types.
Major, Minor, and Service Pack upgrade files do not have a designator in their name, and usually just have the platform and version.
Signature Updates have "-sig-" in the name.
Engine Updates have "-engine-" in the name.
All Upgrade Packages end in .pkg.
Upgrade Packages can be installed using IDM or the CLI upgrade command.
In your situation you want to download the Upgrade file for 7.0-6-E4 instead of the System Image file.
Because the SSM-20 has the common architecture it will use the standard upgrade file that does not list the platform name.
The package you want is IPS-K9-7.0-6-E4.pkg.

N900 Software support is shockingly bad!!!

Nokia. Why release a phone with no/very little software support? It's been about 4 months since the release and it's still not much better!!!
I replaced my Iphone with the N900 because it's meant to be an Iphone beater, but the truth is looking sadly the opposite.
Nokia Map loader is not working and the PC Suite has bugs and it's complicated having to switch between PC Suite mode and Mass Storage mode. What's happened to my free Navigation?
Come on Nokia this is embarrasing, I absolutely love this phone and I want to recommed it to my friends, but with the software situation that's not a possibility.

N900 Personal Review
Hi all, I would like to make some comments about the New Nokia N900.
Shortly the phone SUCKS!
I have been a Nokia user for about 10 years, and for the past 3 I have been using the NSeries, I started 3 years ago with the N95, then moved’ on to the N96 an now as you can see I have had the chance to use the N900 even though my original plan was the N97. The reason for this is that I contacted my provider (T-Mobile UK) as I was due an upgrade, and was told that they didn’t do this handset directly, but I could get this phone if I did the upgrade though Carphone Warehouse (Don’t even get me started on them) any way I contacted Carphone Warehouse and told them that I was due an upgrade and wanted the N97, the idiot on the phone started telling me that the N900 was much better and that it was faster and all. I told him I would have a look into it my self, at least to read some comparisons online. After having read the comparison on several sites, on “paper” the N900 sounded much better, faster processor (N97 is about 400Mhz, N900 is about 600Mhz), more RAM, the use of a Linux based OS and so on, sounded great, I accepted the upgrade with 14 days exchange if not happy.
Well I have used the phone for about 3 days, and let me tell you what I think…
The device is not as fast as people say, you would not think that there is about 200Mhz speed difference between them and that the N900 has double of the RAM then the N97. Yes it does allow you to open several tasks at once, but the CPU drain off more demanding applications is definitely noticeable, for example when running a YouTube page in the background with a video playing and opening other apps, the music temporarily stops just like the N95/N96 did/do.
The fact that it’s a new mobile technology makes it also not very popular right now and there is lack of application unlike the Symbian OS used by the N97, even Nokia them self are not up to speed, the OVI map on the N900 is version 1 point something and is really useless, unlike version 3.03 (3.04 BETA out too) of the N97 (don’t forget that I am using the N97 as a Symbian comparison).
The firmware upgrade is very complex for general users, this includes having to use a Flashing Tool and command lines, I had some issues at the beginning and I am an IT technician. The NSU (Nokia Software Update) didn’t detect the new version available even though the phone was delivered with version 1.x and the version available was 3.2x.
Even the phone “Hard Reset” is complicated, once again you have to use the Flashing Tool and download an other file called EMMC that should technically erase the 32GB memory, but be were, after having used this file my contact were still there and some other information were there too such as my OVI e-mail account and my SKYPE account details, there was also a file from the sketch software that had not been deleted and had to do so manually.
Talking about SKYPE, many sites when comparing N97 to N900 state that the N900 has SKYPE and some other software unlike the N97, well I use to use SKYPE on the N95, it may not be inbuilt but no one says you can’t download it, I use to have SKYPE Lite with many more features then the “messaging” SKYPE inbuilt in the N900. I also use to have 3 different versions of Opera, Windows Live messenger, the IPlayer application, an application provided by SKY TV to control TV listing and Remote Recording, Google Map, Google YouTube application and much, much more, most probably you wont find half of those for the N900, but you don’t see anyone stating that anywhere.
The N900 also lack the option to create folder to organize your applications, any application is “plonked” with the rest in a random order and there is nothing you can do about it, apart from creating a short-cut on one of the 4 useless screens and try to organize it that way.
It also seem to lack the use of the SIM contact option, all you can do is copy from the SIM but not use the SIM storage, now my SIM allows me to store 200 contacts, this would A) save memory on the phone, and B) be used as a back-up of the numbers. I normally use it as B, I back-up the numbers on the SIM (apart from the PC) because the SIM does not die as easy as the phone, lets say (and this has happened to me before with the N96) that the phone drops in the bath, the phone would most probably short and die, but if you had the numbers on the SIM you can move to a back-up phone no problem, same as if you drop the phone and it brakes.
An other issues I had with the N900 is that when you create short-cuts on one of the 4 desktop, you cant align the items, so you may have one up, one down and so on, you would think that they would have a snap to grid or something, but no such thing.
The battery is worse then any phone I have seen, I have lost a “line” while playing only 2 YouTube videos over 3G network hardly anything else running, now the videos were about 3 to 5 minutes each so lets say I lost a battery “line” in 10 minutes, I guess with-in 1 hour your battery would be flat.
The battery charger is not a standard Nokia one (pin) but it uses the same socked of the USB cable, maybe they run out of money while designing, who knows, the only good thing about the charging is that you can charge it while connecting to the PC via USB.
The keyboard misses the mouse pad that we have on the N97, and even thought the device supports on-screen keyboard too, I have noticed that many of the application only support the normal slide-out keyboard, application such as the OVI map (while using the search address option).
The messaging options are very limited too, IM and SMS is all included in an option called conversations located in the main menu, as far as I have seen you are also not able to select multi items when trying to delete them, and this does not only happened in the “conversations” section, I had to delete all the inbuilt songs 1 by 1 and several other files 1 by 1.
The camera options are very limited too, and the picture quality is very poor as far as I can see, I have taken better pictures with the N95 2 years ago.
There seem to also be a limitation when trying to edit website short-cuts name on the desktop, the name is basically what ever the site owners use as a title for the site, for example YouTube uses “YouTube – Broadcast Yourself” and that’s what the phone seems to use as a desktop short-cut title.
The 3G seem to also run slower on this device, web-page loading time between this phone and the N95 seems to be slower more then faster.
And this is what I have discovered in 2 and a half days of using the phone, I don’t even want to imagine how dissatisfied I would have to be if I had to keep this phone for 12/18/24 months, luckily I have the 14 days to exchange and will contact Carphone Warehouse in the morning to arrange an exchange for the N97, I have already taken my SIM card out and placed it in a spare N95 I have at home, that’s how quick I want to get away from the device.
My general advice would be to stay away from this phone and technology at least for now, and not to always believe what is stated by device specs on “paper” as sometimes it’s not all as expected.
This phone reminds me of a scene from the film “Bad Boys 2” when Will Smith is driving the black Porsche with Martin Lawrence.
Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence): You mean, y'all paid, what, $80,000 for this car and you ain't got no damn cup holder?!
Mike Lowrey (Will Smith): It's $105,000 and this happens to be one of the fastest production cars on the planet. Zero to sixty in four seconds, sweetie. Limited edition.
Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence): You damn right it's limited! No cup holder, no back seat. Just a shiny **bleep** with two chairs in it. I guess we the balls just draggin' the **bleep** along.

End-to-End Solution Operations Support Trainings ??

I've found info on the classroom-based classes @ SAP Education. However, there is no info about the e-learning classes (E2E050, C_E2E100_07, C_E2E200_07, C_E2E300_07, C_E2E400_07).
Does anyone know information on these classes, such as cost, availability, etc?

Question 1 - is there a way to set up iTunes to launch (in Windows) with a command line switch or something so that I can create a shortcut for each child so they don't have to remember "oh, yeah, shift-double-click iTunes, select my library" or have me there to do it for them every time??
No. The most practical way to allow children to each have their own, fully separate iTunes Store account is to set them each up their own user account in Windows. Then when they log in they'll have access only to their own iTunes library and iTunes Store account.
Second, is there a way to keep gift card balances separate in the iTunes account, so that each child can redeem their gift card and use what they want without using the other's balance?
You will need to open and maintain separate iTunes Store accounts, which if you're attempting to use a single iTunes library will require logging out of the iTunes Store and back in for each child.
Third, and maybe this depends on the answer to (2), is there a way to set up separate wish lists in a single iTunes account?
Not in a single iTunes Store account, no.

Missing the end of software maintenance date in Product Alert

Hi Expert,
In offline Product alert report, some of the items which has announced EOS or EOL, but the end of software maintenance date is missing, what does that mean?
Thanks,
