IPS 4200 Series

Hello Dears,
I have fresh installed IPS 4200 in Inline interface pair mode, Uptill now i m not getting any packet drops or complains from users.
What else to be done to configure IPS as a Professional setup for corporate Network.
Thanks

Now the hard work begins.
Performing analysis on all medium and high severity signatures and performing these actions:
  Tuning the signatures - Recurring false positive signatures that fire should be adjusted down in severity of disabled (if completely useless)
                                 - Turning on packet captures to learn more about why a signature is fireing and help your analysis.
  Remediation - Once you've found an infected host inside your network, clean it.
                    - If the attack is from outside your network, discover how it is getting in and modify the means of access (Firewall, VPN, etc) to prevent future attack vectors.
This should be plenty to get you started and keep you busy. Don't forget to rinse and repeat.

  • I'm looking for Failover/High available solutions for IPS 4200 Series

    Hi all,
    I tried to find out Failover/High available solutions for IPS 4200 series,I didn't saw failover solutions in IPS guide document. Anybody can be help me!

    I do not know if this is documented anywhere, but I can tell you what I do. As long as the IPS 4200 has power, with the right software settings, the unit can fail such that it will pass traffic. Should the unit loose power, it does stop all traffic. I run a patch cable in parallel with the in line IPS unit, in the same VLAN, with a higher STP cost. Thus all traffic will traverse the IPS unit when possible, but should something happen to it, a $10 patch cable takes over.

  • Cisco IPS 4200 Series Feature

    Does the Cisco IPS 4200 can support RADIUS for user authentication?
    Does the Cisco IPS 4200 can support SYSLOG for sending logging to outside?

    Are you kidding me? Then how do you explain
    the fact that security devices such as
    checkpoint and ASA firewalls are allowed
    authentication via tacacs/radius and you can
    send syslog back to a syslog server. Normally
    the information is got sent back via the
    Command and Control (C&C) interface which
    should be on a secure network in the first
    place.
    This is a limitation of the of the IDS itself.
    I have not tried version 5.x or 6.x yet but
    if they are similar to version 4.1, then
    they are nothing but a Linux box. You can
    "shell" into the box and install PAM on it
    so that you can use external authentication
    such as radius/tacacs or even LDAP.

  • IPS 4200 Signature & Action IDs

    I need a reference manual for the list of all the signatures and actions supported by Cisco IPS 4200 series appliances with software version 6.x.
    I have tried locating this through the IPS product page but had no luck yet.
    Please let me know where can I find this reference manual.
    Thanks.

    Have you looked at the security center?

  • IPS SSP module vs standalone 4200 series devices

    Looking at price to performance ratio it seems that the IPS SSP modules are the winner.
    The 4200 series devices however has hardware bypass which can ensure traffic flow is not interrupted even if the power to the IPS goes down. How likely is it that a malfunction of the IPS SSP affects the work of the ASA?
    We are looking at ASA5585X S20 with IPS SSP S20 or same ASA with IPS 4260.
    Any and all input in terms of pros and cons you are aware of will be appreciated.

    Yes, you can have the IDSM2 module in your CAT 6K. However, please check how much traffic will be traversing the IDSM2 module since you mention internal as well as traffic towards the internet. Please ensure that the performance of the internal traffic is not impacted. Also depends on whether you will be configuring the IPS in promiscuous or inline mode.
    Here is the datasheet for IDSM2:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/modules/ps2706/products_data_sheet09186a00801e55dd.html
    You might even want to bundle a few IDSM2:

  • 4200 series IPS & GNU Bash issue

    any idea when we will see an update for cisco-sa-20140926-bash (GNU bash issue) for the 4200 series IPS appliances?

    Do the logs show anything useful when the freeze occurs?

  • Will IDS v4.1 software run on the IPS-4200 appliances?

    I understand that Cisco IPS 5.0 software will run on the IDS-4200 series appliances (e.g. - IDS -4235).
    Is the reverse true? Can I get Cisco IDS 4.1 to run on an IPS-4240 or an IPS-4255?
    Just curious, since I may have to answer the question internally soon...
    Thanks in advance,
    Alex Arndt

    Just an FYI the only Appliances/Modules that support 5.0 that do not support 4.1 are the ASA-SSM-AIP-10 and ASA-SSM-AIP-20.
    These 2 modules are brand new and will only support the 5.0 version.
    To read more about the 2 new modules refer to:

  • IPS 4200 Fault tolerance

    Hi, Is it possible to have two IPS 4200 appliances in a failover or high availability pair? Or is it single with hardware bypass only?
    Thanks

    In data centers like these, redundant routers, switches, and even power supplies help ensure business continuity during an outbreak. The IPS appliances, however, do not support stateful failover. IPS devices maintain state with traffic flows and may drop traffic from an asymmetrical traffic flow. It is therefore important to factor this into the design.
    You can use the bypass mode as a diagnostic tool and a failover protection mechanism. You can set the sensor in a mode where all the IPS processing subsystems are bypassed and traffic is permitted to flow between the inline pairs directly. The bypass mode ensures that packets continue to flow through the sensor when the sensor's processes are temporarily stopped for upgrades or when the sensor's monitoring processes fail. There are three modes: on, off, and automatic. By default, bypass mode is set to automatic.

  • HP 4200 series Printer Drivers

    I am having a problem getting a new HP Deskjet F4280 to print. When I send a document to print, all the normal functions happen from selecting the number of copies , etc, and the print progress bar shows up and fills in but it never prints. The jobs completed shows whatever I send as completed with the time and date. I can get the Deskjet to Scan and Copy from the computer controls. I tried to find updated drivers at Apple.com for this printer but they are only there for OSX 10.5. Leopard.
    I have done the all steps HP online assistance has suggested but, do not have a solution yet. I have loaded the latest OSX drivers from the HP site and installed them. If I use the Printer Setup Utility to try to install it as a HP printer I am unable to find drivers, I presume because the printer is not listed (old listing of printers)
    I have now used the generic printer option in the Printer Setup Utility and have found I have a driver version 10.4 and PPD file version 1.0 listed.
    I go to "about this Mac" and look at the printer option, I now have installed:
    Deskjet F4200 series:
    Status: Idle
    Print Server: Local
    Driver Version: 10.4
    Default: Yes
    URI: usb://HP/Deskjet F4200 series?serial=CN8882D3VP05BR
    PPD: Generic PostScript Printer
    PPD File Version: 1.0
    PostScript Version: (2000.0) 1
    Can anyone tell me if this is the correct driver version I should have? Any idea what I need to do to get the printer to print?
    Thanks
    Ron

    OK, so I "think" you're installing driver version 9.7.1? - Yes
    In Print & Fax/Printer Setup, are you clicking on Default - which gives the default browser? - That's the main problem I think anyway. I cannot get the Print Browser selection window within the Printer Setup Utility to accept this printer so I can make it the default printer. If I go to the HP selection list, the Series 4200 or the drivers are not listed so I can't select the default printer.
    If I try the "Other" selection I am taken to my Documents folder and can get to all the other folders but I cannot find the printer and drivers in any subfolder.
    And the printer is connected by USB? Yes, I know that is working correctly as the install 9.7.1 program identifies the printer and gives the serial number when plugged in and turned an as directed
    Again - "generic" won't be useful in any way. I have found that to be very true.
    I don't understand what "the utility is not up to date" means here.
    What I mean is that when I select to "add a printer" I'm taken to the "Print Browsed " window where I hi-light the 4200 Series printer and make that selection. The Print Browser window tels me I have selected that printer and that is located at G4 (??? See below). I am then asked to select the printer or driver from the list provided in the drop down listings. I go to HP and the Series 4200 printer is not listed.
    Have you repaired permissions? (Disk Utility in Utilities) - Yes, every time I reinstall the 9.7.1 program.
    COULD the problem be that the printer is located at G4 instead of the Hard Drive? Just to make sure can you tell me how can I change the location to the Hard Drive ?
    Thanks

    It would help a great deal if you could help explain a bit why you cannot install the software.
    Does the software not download?
    Can you not find your printer?  Do you not know what kind of printer you have?
    Are there errors during the installation?
    Can you provide any information to help us understand the situation?

  • CIsco IPS 4200 Log Fields

    Hi,
    Could anyone please tell me where can I find the information regarding the Fields of the log for IPS 4200? In what sequence do they appear in log files and what does each field signify?
    Basically, I need the layout of the log file for the IPS logs. e.g. a sample layout would be something like this:
    [timestamp] , [signatureID] , [vendor] [signature desc], [attacker IP] , [victim IP] , [attack type] , [action ID] , [action desc]
    Thanks.

    Here's an example of an SDEE message. I believe this is from a version 5.x sensor (it could be version 4, I don't see Risk Rating). Each time a new major version of software is release, new features are added and (if reportable) they show up as new fields in the SDEE messages.

  • IPS 4200 - cascade and increase throughput?

    Hi all,
    I'm planning to buy an IPS 4255 appliance, but I might need to increase the throughput in the future. Can I add IPS appliances parallel as and when I need higher throughput. Can those multiple appliances work as a single unit and not influence my existing design, when I need to upgrade the IPS throughput. Also, can this be done with any of the models in the 4200 family, interchangeably ?
    Lot of questions, sorry if too much
    thanks

    If you have a 6500 switch you can connect multiple devices and load share (not balance) via ECLB, have a look at:
    http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/iaabu/csids/csids12/eclbips5.htm
    But as Marhew said, there is no 'clustering' technology available to my knowledge which allows a single-IP management functionality. However you can deploy multiple sensors at the same time with Cisco Security Manager (CSM).

  • IPS 4240 Series

    Hi
    team could you any one help me to configure 4240 series IPS for ma network. Here I have HA for Internet router to Access switch level but right now I got only one IPS device so which is the recommended way to configure this without loosing my HA
    thanks
    Sreejesh S

    Are you trying to put this 4240 in line?
    If you have a switch on each rail of yoru HA, then you could take a promisicous feed off each switch and sent it to our 4240.

  • IDSM vs IPS 4200

    Hi all
    I'm trying to design a data center security solution. I have a 6509 E with sup 720 and FWSM. My concern now is whether to go for IDSM or a 4200 sensor. I know about the through put limitations of both products. Can you all highlight any other pros and cons ?
    thanks

    I would recommend going for the appliances. It gets pretty difficult to troubleshoot the network with FWSM and IDSM in the same chassis. Etherchannels, STP, MAC-Learning.......you have to look at all that to see what exactly is happening in the network and the path taken by a particular packet. Since you have a 6500, you can load balance multiple IPS sensors using ECLB.
    Also the appliances are modular, you can add interfaces etc.
    Another downside is most network monitoring/management software(s) do not supported the IDSM properly, this includes Cisco's LMS and BMC Visualis/Dashboard. You will find the IDSM as a 'disconnected' device on both the Ciscoworks Campus Manager and BMC Visualis (on the network diagrams).
