CISCO IPS 4255

[r.barba]

Hi Friend

I have a Cisco IPS 4255, and I put all the upgrades that Cisco recomend. So, I put the ARES signature with TCP RESET like the action, but the ARES is working without the problem, and I need to stop these traffic. How can I stop the ARES P2P traffic.

I will wait your answer.

Is your sensor in-line or sniffing in promiscious mode? If it is in-line then you can drop the packets instead of sending a TCP Reset. If your sesor is promiscious, then you need a method of transmitting those resets back into the traffic stream.

Hi friend thank you for your answer, my sensor is in-line mode, and I have configured the signture with both actions.

TCP reset and deny inline packet???, Should I change the action to other???, please tell me wich one???

If your sensor is physically in-line then you only need to drop. Are your ARES signatures firing?

Check your alert log with "show event alert past 01:00" to see the past 1 hour of signature alerts.

check to see if your ARES is triggering that IPS signature.
