IOS Firewall doesn't install .pak file

[Luis Carranza]

Hi

I'm installing a new pack of signature on my IOS Firewall. This is what I'm doing

1.- Upload the .pak file on the flash memory.

2.- Install the package with the command copy flash:IPS/IOS-S636-CLI.pkg idconf but when the insallation finish it doesn't bring any error but when I enter the command sh ip ips sig it says S0.0

Does anybody got this problem before.

Can you confirm that the file is in flash?

Have you tried to load this file from an external server?

Also make sure the install path for the signature is defined in the configuration.

ip ips config location url

Hi

The file is already installed in the flash,

Router#sh flash
-#- --length-- -----date/time------ path
1            0 Nov 01 2011 00:30:32 IPS
6        87141 Feb 18 2013 23:25:58 IPS/sat485b-isr2821-1-sigdef-category.xml
7     14685484 Feb 18 2013 23:11:34 IPS/IOS-S636-CLI.pkg

And after I finish the transfer of the file into the flash I try to install the .pak file

copy flash:ips/IOS-S636-CLI.pkg idconf

And it takes like 1 minute and after I finish I didn't get any error but the signature are not installed

I also try this

copy tftp://189.206.211.16/IOS-S636-CLI.pkg idconf

but I got the same result.

The path of the signature is configured

ip ips config location flash:/IPS/ retries 1

Would it be possible to redo the process? Deleting the existing folder, 
remove config and enabling IPS, compiling sigs, etc... again?

I'm going to replace the flash memory and see if this could solve the issue.

Did you try what was suggested?

Are you having any other issue that might be pointing to an issue with the memory?
