NIDS and SNMP

[5creedus]

I'm looking to gather stats on interface utilization, cpu and memory. How would I configure snmp on CIDS Network IPS and or IPS products?

Cisco IDS v4.1 does not support SNMP in any form.

IIRC, IPS v5.0 supports SNMP v2c (to send out alerts as traps and/or accepting queries to provide sensor statistics), though I am not personally familiar with setting this feature up.

Details on configuring SNMP (either for alerting or statistics gathering) on a sensor running v5.0 can be found here:

I hope this helps,
