IDS-MC signature upgrade

[altaf007]

HI,

I am trying to upgrade my ids 4250 using IDS-MC Version 2.01. I downloaded signature file and placed it in following directory of IDS-MC server:

" c:\program files\cscopx\mdc\etc\ids\update.

I got following error on progress viewer when i try to apply this update using IDS-MC.

Local MC: Upgrade

This package appears to be corrupted, or permission was denied for reading the file. Please verify the update package and retry the operation.

So, I thought signature file might be corrupted. I download same signature s146 again and i got same error. I downloaded same file again using different pc but i got same error.

I checked the file permission and it looks ok. I dont know what else to check.

One way to identify whether the package you have downloaded is corrupted or not is to verify the MD5 hash of the file.

make sure that you are using the .zip file and not the .pkg

Hi Altaf,

try updating with the zip file and not the pkg file. through the ids mc , you need to do only with the zip file.. the pkg file can be directly used when you do ftp for updating the signature in IDS.

hope this helps.. all the best..
