IDSM-2 Signature Updates from Cisco.com URL?

[NPT_2]

THE IDSM-2 IPS Sensor in my 6509 switch was not auto updating from version 6.1(1)E3 S297, so I manually updated it to 7.0(2)E4 S480.  Unfortunately it still won't auto update from cisco.com and I think the url it is using is not correct.  My IDSM-2 Configuration has the url of:

https://198.133.219.25//cgi-bin/front.x/ida/locator/locator.pl

Is there a more current URL I should be using?

Thanks for your help. I'll work with those two ranges.

IPS will check if update available through 198.133.219.25/443 and will download it through 72.163.7.55/80 so if you have any firewall in between try to configure both an don the IPS level configure:

https://198.133.219.25//cgi-bin/front.x/ida/locator/locator.pl

The following document discusses the IPS auto-update feature in more detail.  Please note that the auto-update locator server IP recent changed from 198.133.219.25 to 72.163.4.161.  The second document covers the steps required to change the IPS configuration to reflect the new IP address.
