Cisco Cisco IPS 4255 Sensor

Because MySDN has been decommissioned, the URL in older versions of IDM and IME is no longer 
functional. If you are using IPS 6.0 or later, we recommend that you upgrade your version of IDM and 
IME.

You can upgrade to the following versions to get the functioning MySDN URL:

IDM 7.0.3

IME 7.0.3

IPS 7.0(4), which contains IDM 7.0.4

If you are using version IPS 5.x, you must look up signature information manually at this URL:

For information on MySDN (formerly known as NSDB) in IDM, refer to 

A new version of IDM is bundled with the E4 engine update, IDM 6.0(2). We have modified IDM to 
correctly display and edit the additional values allowed in the Retired parameter field of a signature. We 
have also modified IDM and its associated ASDM Launcher application to increase the upper memory 
limit that Java VM uses. With this change you can display and tune more signatures in IDM.

We recommend that ASDM users upgrade to ASDM 6.3 or later. The Java VM upper memory limit of 
ASDM 6.3 has been increased. Older versions of ASDM may not have enough available memory for 
IDM 6.0(2) to function properly.

After upgrading to the E4 signature engine, disconnect and restart any open IDM sessions to make sure 
that your system downloads and uses the latest IDM application from the sensor.

For more information about the new values allowed in the Retired parameter for a signature, see 

This section describes the actions you should take before upgrading to Cisco IPS 6.0(6)E4. It contains
