IPS Signature Auto Update is not Happening, IPS Vesion : 7.1(7)E4

[Vishnu Ravindranath]

Hi Team,

Recently we have started to notice that the IPS signature auto update is not happening, So we are downloading the signature and updating the same manually,  

Current IPS Version : 7.1(7)E4

Latest Signature we tried: 922.0,

We are able to ping the Cisco Server IP : 72.163.4.161, in the release note of Latest Signature the version 7.1(7)E4 is not included, are we facing the issue because of this ? 

Kindly request your expertise advice on this,

Thank you,

Vishnu

You need to have IPS 7.1(11)E4 or 7.3(5)E4 or later in order to update since earlier this year when Cisco switched to SHA2 certificates.

If you are using an older IPS Manager Express (IME), you will also need to upgrade it for full manageability.
