Use the following tools for configuring Cisco IPS 7.0(4)E4 sensors:

Cisco IDM 7.0.4

IDM 7.0.4 is included within the IPS 7.0(4)E4 files.

IPS CLI 7.0.4

ASDM 5.2 and later

Use the following tools for monitoring Cisco IPS 7.0(4)E4 sensors:

IME 7.0.3

You can use IME 7.0.3 to monitor 7.0(4)E4 sensors, but it does not support the new AAA 
RADIUS features. These features will be supported in a future IME version. 

MARS minimum version 5.2 and latest version 6.0.5

CSM 4.0 and later

You may need to configure viewers that are already configured to monitor the earlier version 
sensors to accept a new SSL certificate for the Cisco IPS 7.0(4)E4 sensors.

Cisco IPS 7.0(4)E4 contains the following new feature:

AAA RADIUS authentication

In addition to local AAA authentication, you can now configure RADIUS servers to perform sensor 
user authentication. You can configure the IPS to use AAA RADIUS authentication for user 
accounts, which aids in the operation of large IPS deployments. 

Make sure you have a RADIUS server already configured before you configure RADIUS 
authentication on the sensor. IPS 7.0(4)E4 has been tested with CiscoSecure ACS 4.2 
servers. Refer to your RADIUS server documentation for information on how to set up a 
RADIUS server.
