I have absolutely no training or experience configuring these devices and have been attempting the "pick it up as you go along method" with help from TAC.</P><P>Its running version 4.1 I have configured one senor interface which seems to be working and the control interface. I&#146;ve done nothing else with it. </P><P>I can access the IDS Device manager using a browser interface but when I attempt to connect to the IDS (from the same PC also using HTTPS) via the IDS Event viewer which I recently downloaded. I get this error message &#133; "IOException: Connection refused: connect" "IEV server is not responding. Please check if it is running".</P><P>I expect its something simple that I&#146;ve overlooked. Can anyone advise?</P><P></P> Sun, 10 Mar 2019 09:49:15 GMT davidjkent 2019-03-10T09:49:15Z Cisco IDS Event Viewer - connection problem https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/cisco-ids-event-viewer-connection-problem/m-p/497714#M90820 <P>Hi,</P><P></P><P>I recently stumbled across an unused 4215 IDS which my predecessor had forgotten to mention.
