IDSM-2 (7.0.2) want it to monitoring traffic and not affect anything

Hello All,
I am pretty new to IDSM's, just trying to learn about them.  I am working on a production network so I'm having to be pretty careful..
We have 2 X 6513 with two IDSM-2 installed in each which have just been upgraded to 7.0.2.  They are all in promiscuous mode and we are using VACLS to redirect traffic to them for checking, I want to ensure there is no way that the production traffic can be affected, I can see most of the actions that affect traffic require the IDSM's to be working in INLINE mode.
     The action I was worried about was the TCP RESET, from what I read it seems that this is sent from the management interface of the device and I believe (I may not be correct) that this is available both in inline and in promiscuous mode.  Can anyone confirm if this is correct, is the TCP RESET available in PROMISCUOUS mode and if it is how do I turn it off.  Currently we only want the devices to monitor and then move to the more advanced features after we get a better understanding of our network.
P.S.  Could anyone suggest a good document on how to go about managing and making use of the amount of alerts, and also IDSM setting up and tuning in general..
Any help anyone could give would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

The action that you specify on each signature defines the action taken. When in promiscuous mode (IDS), actions like drop inline etc will not be available. The best way to go about what you want is to set all your signatures to just fire alerts when they trigger. Some signatures will have actions like tcp reset but if you sort from the action column in the IDM you can easily find these and remove the action and rather just produce alert for it instead. This will allow you to tweak your IDS before applying it inline (IPS) if that is your goal.
Be aware also that the IDS will baseline your network and the Anomaly Detection module will act a little crazy if you don't let it monitor your network for 1-2 days of normal traffic.

    I want to store my mac before I go south for the winter. I don't want to lose my info. Can I remove battery and not lose anything?

    Yes. Your data are stored in your hard drive, and the battery is not required for the hard drive to keep its data.
    However, you may want to google for information about how to store a battery for an extended period - "winter" is a long time, and batteries do run down when left sitting on a shelf.

    It sounds like something went wrong with the drive.  Did you drop it?  How long has it been sitting around unused?

  • I want to download my files and Not participate in Revel

    Is there anyway for me to download pictures to computer and not participate in Revel??  Need instructions...

    When the first emails went out, you were given the option to opt-out, but the option to opt out has passed. All remaining accounts will be migrated between now and June.
    Migration is just copying jpg files to Revel. They are still in Photoshop.com until June, so you can use our media downloader to archive them to your computer. Follow this link to see how:

    I hope that helps. You might want to give Revel a try since your files will be there and the first 30 days you get unlimited uploads.

  • I want to download Firefox, but NOT have it as default browser, and not affect other users on the computer - is this possible?

    I want to install Firefox, and be able to use it on demand, whilst retaining Internet Explorer as default browser. Will I be able to use either browser as and when I wish?
    Thanks, and sorry for being stupid!

    Hi Tony,
    Thanks a lot - I thought that was the case, but needed to check!
    Will McAfee security talk to Firefox ok? Site Advisor etc?

  • Why you want to be on 11g and not 10g on your Siebel upgrade large database

    Hi All,
    Just realized the issue of adding new non nullable columns that normally is a huge issue on Siebel upgrades should go away with 11g since the way this is handled is totally changed. Other than tables like s_audit_item which has a CLOB column should allow these columns to be added very fast.
    This is good reason to go with 11g instead of 10g if you are upgrading Siebel.
    When you add a column, the initial value of each row for the new column is null. If
    you specify the DEFAULT clause for a NOT NULL column, then the default value is
    stored as metadata but the column itself is not populated with data. However,
    subsequent queries that specify the new column are rewritten so that the default value
    is returned in the result set.
    This optimized behavior differs from earlier releases, when as part of the ALTER
    TABLE operation Oracle Database updated each row in the newly created column with
    the default value, and then fired any AFTER UPDATE triggers defined on the table.
    However, the optimized behavior is subject to the following restrictions:
    ■ The table cannot have any LOB columns. It cannot be index-organized, temporary,
    or part of a cluster. It also cannot be a queue table, an object table, or the container
    table of a materialized view.
    ■ The column being added cannot be encrypted

    You can add her address as a 'Gift Address' for exactly this reason.This protects the seller as well as you and your friend. It would be polite to let the seller know, if you do win, why your eBay address and your PP address do not match in this instance.

    Hello ryane84
    The easiest and most efficient way to copy your music is to follow the steps under the External drive section. Make sure that you have organized the iTunes library first before you copy it over. Then put the copied iTunes folder in the same Music folder on your computer.

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

    I got an iPhone 4 a week ago. I synced my iTunes once and now I want to change what albums and playlists are on my phone. When I try to do this, iTunes threatens to remove all my apps. Of course, Apple's support is no help. I know there has to be a way to add and remove whole albums and playlists like on the music tab on the device, so please don't tell me to uncheck/delete everything from my iTunes that I don't want and re-sync. That is not helpful and not the issue. How do I get around it threatening to remove all my apps?

    On the MacBook, go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Advanced > Disable remote control
