Hello Gaurav,

As a starting point I would use the "Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide, Version 7.0"

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6120/products_configuration_guide_book09186a0080450278.html

In there you will find a chapter on "Intercepting and Responding to Network Attacks"

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6120/products_configuration_guide_chapter09186a0080450c7c.html

which is about the configuration of the IPS functionality.

Hope this helps! Please rate all posts

If you are using the SSM module for IPS then there are some good guides out there
