IDS + CSPM + PIX

[rbaldanzi]

Hi all,

my customer has 1 PIX firewall with a CSPM 2.3.3f.

Now we have to evaluate an IDS System.

I've read that i need 2.3.3i to manage Cisco IDS Sensor. Do you know if a unique version exist?

CSPM 3.0 solves my problem?

Thank you

I see 2.3.3i in the download section of the software center. 3.0 should also work when it comes out. Here’s a link to the release notes: http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/ismg/policy/ver23i/rn23i.htm

We have run into the same issus as everyone trying to use CSPM to manage the firewalls and IDS. It is true that you currently will need to have 2 seperate machines to manage the IDSs and PIX.

Don't hold your breath for v3.0 to come out soon. They originally stated that 3.0 would be due out in July with Win2k Compatibility by the end of '01...
