what software can monitoring/configure IOS IDS ?

[a.manso]

I have a Cisco 3750 router with IOS/FW/IDS Version 12.2(8r)T2. How can I configure and monitoring IOS IDS?

How can I update IOS FW with latest signatures?

Thanks

never heard of a 3750. do you mean 3745?

anyway, there are some versions of ios that support what cisco is calling IOS IPS. i believe support for this starts at 12.3(8)T, so you'll need to upgrade.

the IPS is still not as full featured as an ids appliance, but you will have more signatures and control. you might want to look at using SDM, if you are going to use the IPS features.

for monitoring, you can use the syslog, or get a copy of VMS/Security Monitor, which will log the alerts/violations.

take a look at this link:

hope this helps,
