IDS sensor Automatic Update

bahoosh — Sun, 10 Mar 2019 09:30:33 GMT

Hello,

I have my VMS setup to download IDS sigs automatically and then I have scrpit that runs automatically to unzip newly downloaded sigs and it dumps them to a dir.

My 4215 sensor is also setup to do automatic sig updates. It FTPs to my 2000 server (this part works -- see it from the logs) and that's it. It doesn't do anything else. Although I have new sigs in rpm.pkg format, the sensor for some reason does not download them.

Does anybody know what needs to be done to fix this?

Perhaps the problem is associated with the version of IDS software you're running?

If your sensors are running S100, it won't work automatically. You'll have to update to >S100 manually in order to re-establish auto updating.

All the details are here:

I hope this helps,

No. IDS sensor is on 175 and I have 176 on the FTP server. Thanks for help though.

We had same issue with FTP auto update. Tried SCP and worked like a charm. If you can't find a SCP server to host updates, try using non-anonymous FTP account instead.
