Q. What are the benefits of migrating from Cisco IPS Sensor Software 6.x to 7.1?
A. Cisco IPS Sensor Software Release 7.0 offers a global correlation feature that delivers near-real-time
protection from zero-day malware. At regular intervals, Cisco IPS receives threat updates from Cisco Security
Intelligence Operations. The updates contain detailed information about known threats on the Internet,
including serial attackers, botnet harvesters, malware outbreaks, and dark nets. The sensor uses this
information to filter out the worst attackers before they have a chance to attack critical assets. It then
incorporates the global threat data into its system to detect and prevent malicious activity even earlier.
The Cisco IPS Sensor Software 7.1.(3) code base also provides:
●
Significantly improved performance for real-world deployment scenarios
●
Expanded authentication options
●
Support for the following recently released platforms:
◦
IPS 4345 and 4360
◦
ASA 5585-X with IPS SSP-10, IPS SSP-20, IPS SSP-40, or IPS SSP-60
◦
ASA 5500-X Series with IPS SSP
Q. How does a user communicate with the Cisco IPS 4300 Series?
A. Cisco IPS 4300 Series sensors have a management interface that needs to be plugged into the appropriate
part of the network. Network settings, including IP address, default gateway, and access list, need to be
configured on the Cisco IPS 4300 Series sensor to allow communication.
Cisco IPS 4300 Series sensors also provides users with a command-line interface to configure the sensor
with the basic network settings required for IP communication.
Q. What are the orderable PIDs (SKUs) for the IPS 4300 Series?
A. The following PIDs will be available.
