Hello, People!

I have one question:

Why IPS have port 10Gb if he has performance of 4 Gb?

which model you are referring?

On the Data Sheet for the IPS appliances I don't see any 10 Gb Interface:

Hi Luiz,

What is the main issue you are facing ?

How are you measuring the performance ?

Hi, Sid

My switches core e distribution is Nessus 7010.

IPS 4270 in promiscuous mode don`t work with Nexus 7010.

I need 10 Giga de throughput between the cor and distribution.

Then I will use three IPS 4270 inline witch between core e distribution.

Performance:

On datasheet

Table 1. Product Specifications

Cisco IPS 4270:

Performance Media-rich = 4 Gbps

Then why IPS have port 10Gb if he has performance of 4 Gb?

thanks for your help

I asked someone in Cisco about this topic and the answer I received was that the 10 GE interface is basically to allow connectivity from the IPS to another device with 10 GE interfaces.

I doesn't make sense to me but that was the answer I got.

No my friend I don't have any documentation. I guess you could contact your preffered Cisco Partner for design assistance.
