Does anyone have answer to my query

yes, you can "shun" to a cisco firewall (PIX or ASA) or a cisco router. In both cases the IDS sensor will populate an ACL to block your attacker. You need to have some signatures action set to "shun" and of course enter the router/firewall information (IP, username, password) into your sensor.

Could you explain me.

Here's a good configuration guide to shunning with a 4200 series IPS sensor and a router.
