IDS NM Configuration Checklist
This window is displayed when you have clicked Configure in the IDS Network
Module Management window to specify the router interfaces whose traffic is to
be analyzed, but the IDS network module or the router lack s a configuration
setting required for the two devices to communicate. It shows which configuration
settings are needed, and in some cases, allows you to complete the configuration
from within Cisco SDM.
IDS NM Sensor Interface
A check mark icon in the Action column means the configuration setting
has been made.
An X icon in the Action column means that the configuration setting must
be made in order for the router to be able to communicate with the IDS
network module.
If this row contains an X icon in the Action column, the IDS NM Sensor
interface has not been configured with an IP address. Double-click the row
and enter an IP address for the IDS Sensor in the dialog displayed. The IDS
Sensor IP address is the address that Cisco SDM and the router use when
communicating with the IDS network module. This IP address can be a
private address; no hosts other than the router it is installed in will be able
to reach the address.
