Cisco Cisco IPS 4255 Sensor

Compare your backed up and saved previous IPS configuration with the output of the show 
configuration command after upgrading to 7.0(7)E4 to verify that all the configuration has been 
properly converted.

If the configuration is not properly converted, check the caveats for IPS 7.0(7)E4 or check Cisco.com 
for any upgrade issues that have been found. Contact the TAC if no DDTS refers to your situation.

The IDM is a web-based, Java Web Start application that enables you to configure and manage your 
sensor. The web server for the IDM resides on the sensor. You can access it through Internet Explorer or 
Firefox web browsers.

The IDM is already installed on the sensor.

To log in to the IDM, follow these steps:

Open a web browser and enter the sensor IP address. A Security Alert dialog box appears. 

The default IP address is 192.168.1.2/24,192.168.1.1, which you change to reflect your network 
environment when you initialize the sensor. When you change the web server port, you must 
specify the port in the URL address of your browser when you connect to the IDM in the format 
https://sensor_ip_address:port (for example, https://10.1.9.201:1040).

Click Yes to accept the security certificate. The Cisco IPS Device Manager Version window appears.

To launch the IDM, click Run IDM. The JAVA loading message box appears. The Warning - Security 
dialog box appears.
