IPS Trial license and signature updates

Hi All,
We have a AIP-SSM 20, I installed a trial license while we wait for the contract. But I am not sure how I can get the signature files, since I cannot download it from the site and auto-update fails with authorization.
Is is possible to get these with a trial license?
Thanks!
Jacques

The Trial License itself only affects whether or not the sensor will allow installation of the files.
The Trial License has no affect on whether or not your userid on cisco.com will be able to access the files.
Do you have a Cisco Representative that you work with? If so then contact him/her. They should be able to either get permission for your userid, or download the files themselves and provide them to you.
If they download them for you, you won't be able to test the "auto-update" feature, but will at least be able to manually install them.

  • IPS License and Signature Download Problem

    Equipment list:
    SSM-40-(AIP-SSM)
    Problem statement:
    -License file downloaded & activated on IPS
    -Unable to download IPS signature file manually using CCO Account.
    Question :
    What is the correct way to bind a CCO account to obtain access privilege; inorder to download IPS signature files? On hand: i have the service contract number.
    From my understanding:
    # Access CCO Account-Profile Manager
    # Go to - Additional Access
    # Go to -Obtain access to additional service contract(s)
    # Input Service Contract Number : xxxxxxx
    Please advise, if this is accurate.
    Thanks

    hi there, thank you for your reply.
    The license has already been applied to my sensor. I have a requirement to download signatures manually and upload to the sensor.
    Right now, i am not able to download the signatures manually off Cisco. Due to the privilege limitation of my CCO account. How can i gain that privilege to download signature files?

  • IPS Sensor Trial License - Can't download signatures

    Have a customer using the Trial License and they say they cannot download the latest signatures and virus updates with it.SHould they be able to get these?

    To use this option, you must apply for a license key at this URL: www.cisco.com/go/license

  • Cisco 6500 IDSM Signature Updates

    Hi,
    One of my client has recently purchased Cisco IDSM-2 for their core router i.e. 7609, however the client has missed purchasing the SUSA licencing for signature updates.
    Can the client still configure the IDSM-2 without Signatue updates( in any mode) and what would be the limitations if he does not buys the SUSA in future too.
    Manmeet

    The only thing that can not be done without the SUSA license (IPS Subscription license) is to update the signature to the latest signature update file.
    You can still configure the IDSM2, the only thing that can't be performed is updating the signature to the latest.
    Hope that answers your question.

  • Obtaining hardware and signature support for AIP SSM-10

    We have a 5510 which we have purchased an AIP SSM-10 card for the ASA which is already under a support contract. We now wish to add hardware maintenance for the new AIP SSM-10 card as well as signature updates. Our Cisco supplier will not confirm that we will receive signature updates with the hardware support though (we have been trying to get an answer from them since June or July now).
    Could someone let us know what the correct part number is so we can ask for the specific option that will provide both hardware cover and signature updates.

  • 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

  • Updating a signature update & IPS License

    I am testing a IPS module on a ASA5505, I have a 30 day license which just expired.   I am trying to upload a new signature file, from the IPS express 7.2.1, but it just keeps timing out.    Is it not uploading because my license is expired?

    I think you get a 30 day grace period after your license expires where you can still apply signature updates.
    If you have an expired license, you can still apply OS updates that just happen to contain the latest signature pack as of their release date. These are not as frequent as the signature updates, but they will keep an unlicensed sensor within a few months of current signatures.

  • How often ARE those IPS virus signatures updated?

    I was looking at a "show version" on one of my current sensors and noticed that the last virus signature was over 7 months ago. Now, one of the big reasons I was told we had to pay for our 5.x licenses was these virus signatures. If that's true, and this is the additional value Trend Micro has brought to our sensors, should they get updated a little more frequently?
    (from my sensor)
    Cisco Intrusion Prevention System, Version 5.1(1p1)S235.0
    Host:
    Realm Keys key1.0
    Signature Definition:
    Signature Update S235.0 2006-06-22
    Virus Update V1.2 2005-11-24

    The Virus Signature from Trend was one reason for the licensing in 5.x, but was not the only reason and was not even the primary reason.
    Even as far back as version 2.x a Support Contract was required for downloading and installation of signature updates. But was not enforced by the software. We relied on the users keeping the support contracts up to date on their own. Many users downloaded and installed signature updates without paying for the support contract. And the vast majority did not realize that a support contract was needed to receive the signature updates.
    With the lack of support contract purchases it became difficult to continue fielding a team for writing IPS signature updates.
    So in version 5.x it was decided to begin enforcing the purchase of support contracts through the use of Signature Update Licenses as part of the Cisco Service for IPS Contracts. Thus ensuring funding for the signature team, and allowing the team to spread out world wide for 24 hour coverage.
    The additional cost of a Cisco Service for IPS contract when compared to standard SmartNET contracts for other Cisco products is for the specific funding of the Cisco signature team, and a small amount sent to Trend for assistance in signature creation. Only a small portion of the support contract is paid to Trend Micro for their support.
    The Virus signatures are part of the Cisco Incident Control System (Cisco ICS). With the purchase of ICS there is a faster deployment of signature for Virus/Worms. When a virus or worm reaches a critical level then TrendMicro can create their own Virus signatures and have Cisco ICS deploy those signature to the sensors as soon as they are written.
    Cisco then includes these Virus signatures in a later standard Cisco signature update.
    Now as for why there have not been any recent updates to the Virus Signatures is that there has not been a major out break in the past 6/7 months. The virus signatures are only created on an emergency basis when a virus or worm reaches a critical level. Cisco ICS was specifically designed for handling virus and worm outbreaks, and is referred to as Outbreak Prevention.
    If the virus/worm does not reach a critical level, then the emergency Virus signatures are not created.
    Instead the Cisco signature team will take care of them as part of the standard Cisco signatures that are included as part of the standard S updates.
    This doesn't mean that we are not receiving information from Trend. For Virus/Worms that do not reach that critical level, the Trend team will instead send information to Cisco for creation of standard Cisco signatures by the Cisco signature team. This way the Cisco team can create a mroe general signature designed to catch all attacks for a certain vulnerability that will catch that specific virus/worm as well as future virus/worms that may also attempt to exploit the same vulnerability. These signatures wind up as part of the standard S update. This method is used because the Cisco signature team has more in depth knowledge of the various engines in Cisco IPS and can often write signatures that the Trend engineers would not be able to.
    It is only when the Trend Micro engineers need to create an emergency update that they will create their V signatures for the specific virus/worm.
    Otherwise they share share the information with Cisco and the Cisco engineers creates the signature.

    License for CSM is Professional. Any idea? please help

    Hi Peter,
    You might not be running the latest service pack for version 3.3.0.
    Cisco Security Manager (CSM) customers subscribing  to automatic IPS signatures/sensors are required to download and  install a Cisco Security Manager Service Pack after December 23, 2010  as the IPS signatures are migrating to a new download location on CCO.
    Hence if you are running 3.3.0 then you need to upgrade to 3.3.0 SP2 (Service pack 2)
    There was a field notice out on this issue:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/ts/fn/633/fn63373.html

  • 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:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/sec_data_plane/configuration/guide/sec_ips5_sig_fs_ue_ps10591_TSD_Products_Configuration_Guide_Chapter.html#wp1138659

  • 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).

  • 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.
