IDS 4215 inline IPS

davidbuit — Sun, 10 Mar 2019 10:28:47 GMT

One of our client has an IDS 4215 with 4FE. I don't know what version they are running but I believe it is pretty old... Around 3 years.

What version is required to get the IDS 4215 to work in in-line mode? And what software can be used to manage these device? Do you still have to use CSPM or is there something better?

Does anyone have an example configuration for the IDS 4215 or is there an example config on CCO?

Thanks

If you are not interested in keeping the existing configuration, it would be best to re-image to 5.1.1, then apply the service pack, then apply the new signature updates.

Please note that you would need to purchase a license to be able to upgrade with new signatures.

After installing the 5.1.1 image, please install the 5.1.4 service pack.

And then install the latest signature upgrade.
