The recovery partition will be automatically upgraded to IPS-K9-6.0-4a-E1. The maintenance partition will not be I think. This is an output from an IPS upgraded earlier:

Application Partition:

Cisco Intrusion Prevention System, Version 6.0(4a)E1

......

......

Maintenance Partition Version 2.1(2)

Recovery Partition Version 1.1 - 6.0(4a)E1

Thank you for prompt reply.

Hi Farrukh,

what about Hardware bypass, do we need any additional harware (4 Gb bypasscard) or my IDSM-2 does have it by default.

Actually, I am planning for the VLAN pair Inline mode configuration and I am worried about the dataflow during signature or patch update.

Regards

Dinesh

The IDSM-2 has no hardware interfaces. It is internally connected to the switch backplane. I've done signature updates before on this platform without any issues. It will lets packets pass through (by default) when the signature engine is down.

Hi Farrukh,

I dont have IPS service contract to download the licen file and this one is not updated before upgradation.

It could be a problem ?

Without IPS service contr it will not allow us to go for Licencing ?

In my invoice only these two line iteam it thr. WS-SVC-IDSM2-BUN-K9 and SC-SVC-IDSM-5.1-K9, do you think that it should be with IPS service contract like line iteam ---PAK-- ---

Please help me, I am new to this device.

Regards.

Hi Omar,

as i know we can upgrade the IDSM with latest one without any license.. but i am not sure about, hot to get the licens without service contract.

I think farruk can guide us on this, but it seems that he is not available since long time....

Hi Dinesh

Sorry I'm on vacation right now :)

You will get a license file once you purchase a 'Cisco Services for IPS' contract for the IDSM-2 blade. Then you have to load that license on your sensor. Software upgrades work without a valid license. Signature updated don't work. They install and then re-install themselves after detecting that no license is present.
