how to updating the attack signatures on 3845 IDS module

[hardhunter]

I have bought a cisco 3845 with IDS module,but I think I also need a account to update the attack signature on IDS module periodly,who can tell me how?

Hi,

To get signature updates you also need to purchase "Services for IPS" - your reseller should be able to get you a quote. Without this you won't be able to get either signatures or any support other than warranty. (because Smartnet has been replaced by Services for IPS for IPS devices.)

You would be looking for the appropriate "SmartNet" maintenance contract. Given the myriad options, I'd suggest contacting whomever sold you the 3845, or if second-hand, the nearest Cisco Sales office.
