Hi,

I have updated IPS signature to the latest one but in sh config it still shows virus updates are of 2007. What is the reason of it?

Regards,

Asim

Dear Asim

The virus update signatures pertain to an obsolete co-ordination feature between the Cisco IPS and TrendMicro ICS, as per a Cisco Signature expert:

"The virus updates were distributed/managed by the Incident Control Server (ICS) product that was a joint effort between Trend Micro and Cisco. Trend had the ability, via the ICS, to push anti-virus signatures to a Cisco IPS Appliance for emergent virus control. ICS never caught on and has since been discontinued. We continue to ship, as a base, the last update level that Trend published (V1.4). At some point in the future, we plan to remove the Virus Update label and just include the V1.4 signatures in a base S... signature set. "

You need not worry about it!

Please rate if helpful.
