IDS sensor and MC update

[o.oresotu]

Hi,

My organisation uses a Cisco IDS 4215 which i always update from ciscoworks VMS 1.0.3. However, on applying the last update (IDS-sig.4.1.4-S137), it only update the sensor but failed to update the MC. Futhermore, when i telnet to the sensor i could login but there is an error "can not communicate with processes system halted"

Can anyone give me a clue on how wo resolve this problems?.

mdcsupport.exe you can run from any directory on the VMS server.

i dont think this is an issue with your VMS server, i checked the log file and it seems like the issue is with the sensor.

try to manually upgrading the sensor and see if that works, if that works then delete the sensor from the VMS, add it again using auto discover settings and then apply the new signature update.

Hi nkhawaja,

Please where on the VMS can i see the auto discover settings?

Thanks

when you are addding the sensor, there is a check box there to discover the setting of the sensor

for the past couple of days the link to the patches is notworking.

I just tried again to see if I could download the patch and text file to no avail

Can you ring the bell on your end and have them fix it? thanks

I have tried it from several dif workstations and "page is not available" is the result

thanks
