IOS IPS 3845 router

The IOS IPS keeps failing. For some reason it sends the alerts to MARS and then all of a sudden the IPS is disabled on the interface. This config. was down through SDM.

CS-MARS also integrates tightly with Cisco's premier security management suite, Cisco Security Manager (CSM). This tight integration maps traffic-related syslog messages to the firewall policies defined in CSM that triggered the event. Policy lookup enables rapid, round-trip analysis for troubleshooting firewall configuration-related network problems, policy configuration errors, and fine-tuning defined policies.
