Cisco IDS/IPS appliance vs IDSM

gdntsoc · ‎05-09-2005

Greetings all. Can anyone provide a link to a document(s) which explains the differences in features between an appliance and an IDSM, both running 4.1 and/or 5.0? Thanks in advance.

All information pertaining to these products can usually be found at http://cisco.com/go/ids

I think you might find the IDSM-2 datasheet useful. You can find it at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps708/products_data_sheet09186a00801e55dd.html

Also, there's a nifty comparison of abilities, using a chart, at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/vpndevc/ps4077/products_data_sheet09186a008014873c.html

I hope this helps,
