Moving IDS from one MC to another

[Billy Dodson]

I am using the IDS MC for cisco works to monitor 2 ids sensors. I need to move the MC to another machine. I already have the machine up and running cisco works. How to I Move all the configuration over as in the filters, signature settings, never shun lists, ect?

If the new machine is exact replica of old machine , including the IP address and host name. you should be able to back it up from old one to the new one. Otherwise, you can simply import the configuration directly from the IDS Sensors, every thing shuld be there

I am not sure if you have already seen this post but if not it may help; the subject discussed here is the changing of the IP address of an IDSMC. I cannot be sure if the information is still valid. It is certainly one to be aware of.
