Cisco Cisco IPS 4255 Sensor

IDM does not support any non-English characters, such as the German umlaut or any other special 
language characters. If you enter such characters as a part of an object name through IDM, they are 
turned in to something unrecognizable and you will not be able to delete or edit the resulting object 
through IDM or the CLI.

This is true for any string that is used by CLI as an identifier, for example, names of time periods, 
inspect maps, server and URL lists, and interfaces.

You can only install eight IDSM2s per switch chassis.

When SensorApp is reconfigured, there is a short period when SensorApp is unable to respond to 
any queries. Wait a few minutes after reconfiguration is complete before querying SensorApp for 
additional information. 

IDM and IME launch MySDN from the last browser window you opened, which is the default 
setting for Windows. To change this default behavior, in Internet Explorer, choose Tools > Internet 
Options, and then click the Advanced tab. Scroll down and uncheck the Reuse windows for 
launching shortcuts check box.

For most IPS platforms, you can now recover the password on the sensor rather than using the service 
account or reimaging the sensor. This section describes how to recover the password for the various IPS 
platforms. It contains the following topics:

Password recovery implementations vary according to IPS platform requirements. Password recovery is 
implemented only for the cisco administrative account and is enabled by default. The IPS administrator 
can then recover user passwords for other accounts using the CLI. The cisco user password reverts to 
cisco and must be changed after the next login.

Administrators may need to disable the password recovery feature for security reasons.
