IPS Signature Update. The IPS is left hanging.

I have performed a IPS signature ID update once the definition have been updated the IPS is left hanging and I need to perform a reload. The config has been verified as not a possible cause for this adverse effect. Have people had issue of this sort? What would cause the IPS to effectively stall when upgrade takes place? Any solutions?

Please use the below troubleshoot guide

HT204350 I have an older Mac 07 that needs to be updated the apple store left our town, I've been trying to do free down load but not working any advice?

Hi, I have a older Mac early 07 I think, I'm trying to update it online since our apple store closed in our town. Can anyone advise me on what I would need to do since the maverick free upgrade didn't seem to work. Is there an earlier program that I missed? I had gone thru a couple of brain surgeries so I might of missed some things. Thanks

First, have you confirmed that your Mac is compatible with Mavericks? Here are the compatible models:
•     iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
•     MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
•     MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
•     MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
•     Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
•     Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
•     Xserve (Early 2009)
so an early 2007 Mac of any type would not be compatible. If you'll run the System Profiler app (in the Applications/Utilties folder) and tell us what is says for the Model Identifier in the Hardware Overview, we can confirm what model of Mac you have.

Installing signature update for IDSM-2 on AIP-SSM

Hi every one,im not sure about this question but i think its beter to ask you experts.i want to know that if i have signature update for example for my IDSM-2 can i instal this sig update on my AIP-SSM --> suppose that IPS software on both devices are same and also i have installed valid license key on AIP-SSM.now can i do this or no? and i know that if you have not valid license installed on IDSM-2 you cant instal any sig update on IDSM-2 but what about AIP-SSM?i mean can i instal sig update on AIP-SSM without installed valid license key on AIP-SSM? thanks

There are 3 main types of Signature Updates.
1) IPS Sensor Signature Updates
2) CSM Signature Updates for IPS Sensors
3) IOS IPS Signature Updates
The IPS Signature Update filename is in the form: IPS-sig-Sxxx-req-Ey.pkg
This is most likely what you are referrnig to in your post. This file can be installed on ANY IDS/IPS Appliance or Module.
The Requirement here is not the platform but rather the Engine Level. The "req-Ey" portion of the filename tells you that the sensor must already be running the "y" Engine level of software.
So an IPS-sig-S436-req-E3.pkg file can be installed on any IDS/IPS Appliance or Module so long as the software on that sensor is an "E3" version.
The CSM updates, are signature updates for the Cisco Security Manager. They contain special files that CSM uses to update itself, and then also included within the CSM update is the actual sensor update described above. CSM unpackages the CSM update, updates itself, and then uses that embedded file to upgrade the actual sensor.
The third type of file is for IOS Routers loaded with special IOS software that has the special IOS IPS features where the Router itself (instead of a separate IDS/IPS module) does the signature monitoring.
These IOS IPS Signature Updates get installed on the actual router, and are not installed on the IDS/IPS Sensor Appliances or Modules.
So in answer to your question, yes the same Signature Update for your IDSM-2 is the exact same Signature Update for your SSM modules.
The exact same file is available through multiple different paths on cisco.com. But it doesn't matter through which cisco.com path you downloaded the file you can still install it on all IDS/IPS Appliances and Modules.
As for licensing, the license works the same on all IDS/IPS Appliances and Modules. A license must be on the sensor for the Signature Update to be applied.
NOTE: A Trial License is available from cisco.com for new sensors to allow you time to get everything setup correctly for your sensor to be covered by a service contract, and get the standard license from the service contract.

Have you check the following?
Verify that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings
Ensure that your device is using the latest software.
If your issue is still unresolved, perform a software restore in iTune

Is there a way to automate IOS IPS signature updates without CSM?

I have a growing number of 891 routers running IOS IDS/IPS. My Cisco vendor has stated repeatedly that CSM is the only way to manage signature updates to multiple routers, but I'm finding CSM to be incredibly tedious and slow. It also wants to manage a lot more than just the IPS policies and signatures which causes other problems.
I have about 160 routers deployed now and that will grow to at least 600. I have CSM 3.3.1. I'm told 4.x would make it easier becasue it can be configured to ignore more of the non-IPS bits of the router configs, but the upgrade is a big chunk of money that wouldn't be in the budget until at least 2012.
Is anybody doing this with an expect script or EEM applets or something else? It seems to me that I could manually upload an update to one router and push the resulting XML files to all the other routers a lot easier and faster than I could "discover" a bunch of routers in CSM (and rediscover them every time we make a CLI change), add the routers to a group, apply updates to a sig policy, lather, rinse, repeat..., not to mention troubleshooting the weird errors and completely wron "warnings" that CSM spews.
Thanks in advance!

From IOS version 15.1(1)T, you can configure the IOS IPS to auto update from cisco.com which would help I believe.
Here is the configuration guide for your reference:

IOS IPS Signature Updates

Hi,
Is it possible to update signatures for IOS IPS or do we need to update the IOS to get more signatures?
Thanks and rgds
Rajesh

hi,
if you have cisco sdm, then it would be easy to update your IOS IPS signatures. You may need to upgrade IOS of the router only when the ips signature requires you to do it.

IPS Signature Updates and CCO logins

I cannot seem to get my IPS 4255 on version 7.0(3)E4 go gather signature updates and I think it is becasue my CCO accound is not setup correcly. I took a browse through the discussions (admittedly did not read them entirely) but can anyone point me to a discussion on how to setup my CCO account or give me instructions on what I need to do?
Thank You
Unprotected,
Jason Bielenda

Small correction.
The URL to create the account is https://tools.cisco.com/RPF/register/register.do
And you need an IPS services contract to get access to them.
There are trial licenses available too

IOS IPS Automatic Signature Update

I will use cisco1941w.
I'd like to know, how to configure at CLI and where is the URL.
Is the bellow correct?
CLI
Router(config)# ip ips auto-update
Router(config-ips-auto-update)# occur-at 0 0-23 1-31 1-5
Router(config-ips-auto-update)# url https://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/front.x/ida/locator/locator.pl
Router(config-ips-auto-update)# username XXX password XXX
URL
https://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/front.x/ida/locator/locator.pl

Hello,
A. Hete is what the six files do:
• ios-ips-sigdef-default.xml: contains all the factory default signature definitions
• ios-ips-sigdef-delta.xml: contains signature definitions that have been changed from the default
• ios-ips-sigdef-typedef.xml: is a file that has all the signature parameter definitions
• ios-ips-sigdef-category.xml: has all the signature category information, such as category ios_ips basic and advanced
• ios-ips-seap-delta.xml: contains changes made to the default SEAP parameters
• ios-ips-seap-typedef.xml: contains all the SEAP parameter definitions
B. So the signature file (.pkg) is decompressed into these files and then 'idconf' loads them in memory.
Hence to copy signature database of one router to the other, we need to copy atleast first 4 files.
You only need to distribute the SEAP configuration if you modified any of the Signature Event Action Override configuration:
We do not have one single file that contains all the signatures. The signature package is installed in a certain way.
Hence we will need atleast first 4 files to copy of signature database from one router to the other.
C. Secondly, I dont know if auto-update will accept a file in .xmz package, I have not tested this.
But I am guessing it will look for a .pkg file and decompress it.
With copying a .xmz file, you may have to manually load it into memory using 'idconf' command.
D. Hence there is no one single configuration file that you copy off the external ftp server.
I guess, the only thing you can do is to have different routers update signatures at different times to reduce load on the network.
It is also not necessary to check for signature updates every hour.
Normal rate of adding new signature releases is every few days, so even if you check around once a day that should be ok.

IPS Signature Update S480?

I noticed that the software for the E4 engine update has been posted for all IPS devices, but no matching signatures (yet). Also, I see that the IPS updates for MARS now have an update for S480 available, but no matching signatures for IPS.
Is this just a mix-up with release dates? Or am I just missing where the S480 signatures are? Also, will S480 be the first set of sigs released for the E4 engine?
Anyone with any insight?

Whoops ... guess I should have read that E4 engine "readme" file that came with the download ...
"The E4 Engine Upgrade includes a Signature Update labeled S480. S480 will not be available for separate download. Refer to the archived Active Update Bulletin for S480 for more details on this signature update release. Active Update Bulletins are available at:

IPS Signature Update - CSM v3.3 SP1

Hi,
I am getting the following error message when deploying IPS signature updates to some of my sensors via the CSM deployment tool:
"Failed to generate edit config delta for host component. Detail: Error while processing the host component with DNS,access-list or http-proxy"
The signature update actually deploys, but I am wondering what is causing this message. I get this with some 4240, 4255 and IDSM-II blades, but not with others and I can't see any config variances.
Does anyone have any ideas what is causing this message? The access ACLs are the same for each sensor.
Many thanks

Hi Liam,
As you mentioned you are using a shared policy, and the access ACLs for all sensors are the same, I assume that you may be using an "Allowed Hosts" shared policy.
In that case, how did you create that policy ?
Did you create the policy from the policy view page, or did you right click on the "Allowed Hosts" setting of a device in device view and select "share policy" ?
If you did the first, you may be running into a known issue. You can read more about this on the bug toolkit:
http://tools.cisco.com/Support/BugToolKit/search/getBugDetails.do?method=fetchBugDetails&bugId=CSCtg02063
This is the workaround that should work for you in case you are indeed running into this issue:
1. Rediscover or newly add any one IPS device running 7.x version
2. Create entries for "Allowed Hosts" according to requirements.
3. Right click on "Allowed Hosts", select "Share Policy..." and specify a name for shared policy.
4. Assign this "Allowed Hosts" shared policy to one or more devices.
5. Deployment should now be successful for "Allowed Hosts".

WRVS4400N - firmware issues and IPS signature update messages

On my WRVS4400N with Firmware Version: V1.1.03 I keep getting the message:
"Your Signature Version is beyond xxx days. Please Update it!"
Cisco/Linksys: about time to update the IPS signature, because I always have the latest available, but you don't update it anymore.
Besides: there are a lot of known issues with this router, but you don't provide us with a new firmware. OK, I did find a beta WRVS4400N_v1108.img on rapidshare, but is this really a Linksys beta? Why don't you publish updates anymore?
I am very disappointed by your service on this matter :-(

Hi Tom,
Last night I reset the setting to factory default, reinstalled firmware v2.0.2.1 and then restored my settings I backed up. Everything worked great after that but this morning it was down again. Same thing, no network and can't log into the router and forced to cycle the power.
As a "way out there" guess, are there any compatibility issues with certain switches? One thing I did change the past few days was that I took out an older cheap 8-port D-Link Gigabit switch which was maxed-out and replaced it with a Netgear ProSafe 16-port Gigabit switch (model JGS516).
Another thing that has changed is that I have added another network by cascading a D-Link DIR-655 wireless router. I have the WAN port of this router connected to a LAN port on the WRVS4400N router. The WRVS4400N router is using IP 192.168.21.x (subnet mask 255.255.255.0) and the other router is set to 192.169.10.x (subnet mask 255.255.255.0). I may be wrong but I can't see this being an issue. ANy ideas?

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

IPS signature update

i would like to get some idea for IOS IPS signature update.
example currently the router fresh install using IOS-S416-CLI.pkg, IOS category ios_ips in advanced mode, with retired false.
Just wonder what if next time download and loading with latest patch of the IOS-SXXX-CLI.pkg into the machine, what will effect on the current compiled signature?
will it just loaded in incremental form? (meaning is it the signature in latest patch will added as new enable signature), then what about the signature previously being modified and save one, any effect on it? (like re-write my previous save signature)
with the new patch install, would it also effect on the router DRAM and flash size? (my router with 384 mb DRAM and 128mb flash)
thanks

Hi,
When you compile a new signature package on a router that carries an existing signature database, the signature configuration in the new signature package will supersede the router's existing database's signature configuration. Thus, if you have made changes to the signature database on the your router, and you compile in an updated signature package that contradicts your changes, your changes will be overwritten!!, and will need to be re-created.
You can avoid having to re-create your changes if you copy the "routername-sigdef-delta.xml" or "iosips-sigdef-delta.xmz" file to some other location on the router's local storage, and re-apply the original "routername-sigdef-delta.xml" or "iosips-sigdef-delta.xmz" to the updated signature database after you have compiled the updated signature package to the router's database.
And don't forget, the basic signature category is appropriate for routers with less than 128 MB of flash memory, and the advanced signature category is appropriate for routers with more than 128 MB of flash memory.
Hope this helps,
Thank You,

Signatur updates for Cisco IPS 4510

Hi there.
I one question to all cisco IDS/IPS professionals. If the management port only accept inbound traffic how can I then activate my Cisco 4510 IPS appliance to get automatically signature updates from cisco.com ? That one requires outbound traffic too.
Thanks.

You Management0/0-port only supports "to-the-box" traffic which means that you can't use that port for an inline pair or a vlan-pair. But with the IP on that port configured, you can not only connect to your sensor, the sensor can also initiate connection to the rest of the network and so you can reach your update-destionations.
