can u tell me OS version of the cisco IPS you talking about?
my dealer said that Cisco IPS composes of a Cisco IDS(alternatily
called an IPS) v.5 OS which is not yet available. Currently Cisco IPS
works on v.4.1.4 IDS OS which is in every Cisco IDS (ex 4235), but
when v.5 will become available it will be replaced for free on IPS
boxes. Hence true IPS function is not yet available.

The cisco IPS is not quite what I thought it was going to be. The IPS
is intended for use at branch offices or remote users where you would
not normally spring for a fire-walling device. The IPS is nothing more
then a IOS router with IOS firewall and the IDS engine. The IPS is just
software that runs on a cisco router. It can use around 740 signatures
from the cisco IDS to run its "prevention". It basically turns your
router into a small IDS/firewall. It will be able to create access
lists or shuns on the fly. The same as a current cisco IDS works in
conjunction with an IOS router or PIX firewall. This device is not
intended to be the first line of defense within the network.
The cisco IPS is not replacing the cisco IDS. The cisco IDS is still a
good product and can be used as a prevention device when used in
conjunction with a router or firewall. You can configure the sensor to
send commands to the router or firewall to Shun the connection or create
an access list on a router.

Hi,
I'm right now in the middle of a Project with the goal to implement an
IPS
in an existing infrastructure. One of our possible Partners offers us
the
new IPS Product from Cisco.
Does anyone of you now something about this machine or at least about
the
older IDS-Box because I think the Inspection Engine will be the same?
Any Information about how well it performs in a real environment would
be
great
Christoph
