I have my IPS configured auto update signatures. It successfully downloaded the last signature, but i still see an old one installed on the IPS.

You can see in the following sh version that the last installed signature is 616, while the last one downloaded is 864

any idea from anyone ?

Hi ,

did you find solution for this i have same issue IPS is unable to install IPS signatures. 

Automatic IPS-initiated signature updates from Cisco.com were quietly discontinued last fall. As of now you have to manually download the current signature to your PC and then upload them to the IPS directly (or via IPS Device Manager or IPS Manager Express). 

I've complained to Cisco about this to no avail. 

Hi Marvin, 

can we try installing 4360 IPS signature updates on 4240 IPS hardware will there be any issue. 

cisco stopped IPS4240 signatures last October but i need to have the latest and greatest version on my appliance. so is it possible to perform this. 

  

This was 2 years ago, I had to do it manually after all.
