Help IDSM2 to Configure for TCP Reset

etiennevella

Level 1

Hi All,

I'm testing IDSM2 witht the lateset IOS on a CAT 6504 with SUP72010GE. The setup is using the promiscouse mode VACL, and traffic is being captured by the IDSM2 i can see the traffic in the  Event Dasboard etc. I wish to configure the IDS to send a tcp reset for the attacks. Under IPS Policies with the actions i added the Reset TCP Connection. But I'm Stuck There.

From the documentation that i  reviewed it was stated that i need to assign another interface for the tcp reset and allow the vlan\s that i'm capturing.

Could any one help with this issue.

Thanks

Etienne

Etienne;

  The IDSM-2's TCP reset port is port 1 as discussed in the configuration guide:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/ips/7.0/configuration/guide/cli/cli_idsm2.html#wp1059158

  By ensuring that port 1 is in the correct VLAN(s), it should be able to source TCP resets when that action is assigned to a signature.

The comments in the User Guide only apply to Cat OS, and only apply to promiscuous mode.
Cat OS provides multiple different config options that could prevent TCP resets from working properly, however in Native IOS with the special "intrusion-detection module" commands take care of these issues automatically without the user having to do
anything.
The IDSM2 has two data ports (a.k.a. "sensing interfaces"), and a separate tcp-reset interface. In native IOS you do not need to configure the
tcp-reset interface, either on the IDSM2 or on the switch.  It is automatically added to all necessary vlans by the switch.
