Configure IPS on Router

Dear All,

I am novice in the security, excuse me if my question is very basic.

I want to configure IPS on Cisco 2821 router. I do not have any server for storing the logs.

Kindly let me know:

Is it possible to configure IPS on a router 2821?

Is it going to increase the CPU utilisation?

Kindly let me have the command/link to configure IPS on the router.

Thnx,

Ashish

Hi Ashish,

You can configure IPS on Cisco 2821.Just load it with an image that supports security features.

Here's a good Q&A guide that may help you.

The CPU util depends on the number of signatures enabled and the amount/type of traffic the router is handling.

HTH.

Hi Raj,

I am novice in security, have never used SDM as well.

Would appreciate if you can tell me commands on Cisco IOS to configure IPS on router.
