Description

After you have configured the sensing interfaces of a Cisco Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) sensor, you will need to attach them to the sensor analysis engine, and optionally tune basic, low-level analysis options that apply to inspected traffic.
In this course, you will learn about virtual sensors and their session tracking modes, traffic sources and analysis engine settings, inline normalization and promiscuous mode reassembly options, IP version 6 (IPv6) support and how to configure the bypass feature. This course also introduces the configuration of the built-in signatures in the Cisco Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) sensor products.
You will be able to find individual signatures and classes of signatures, and perform basic signature-related configuration actions. You will also learn how to configure the actions that you would like the sensor to take, and configure the two configuration mechanisms that allow you to scalably change responses for a large number of signatures.
