ACE 4710 - IDS messages

sez sharp · ‎04-26-2012

Hi,

I've got logging turned up to 5 at present on some ACE 4710's and the logs are filled with messages: -

Error Message %ACE-4-400000: IDS:1000 IP Option Bad Option List from a.b.c.d

Which according to the ACE Sys Msgs Guide relates to: -

The ACE does not support IP options. This IDS message is generated whenever the ACE detects IP options in a packet.

Am not interested in IDS or security features for my deployment scenario, just want LB functionality.

Definitely don't want these msgs flooding the logs

How do I turn off the IDS function on the ACE 4710 ?

TIA,

Sez

Can not find any reference to IDS functionality on ACE 4710

To stop repeated messages clogging up log I had to disable logging for specific message, in this case: -

no logging message 400000

I would still be interested to know what IDS functionality is being refered to on these messages on ACE 4710
