Field Reference
Edit Signature Download Filter Settings Dialog Box
The Edit Signature Download Filter Settings dialog box enables you to download IPS signature updates
selectively. It applies both to the manual download and to the automated download.
Note Filtering does not apply to IPS sensor packages or to IPS engine packages; it applies to IPS signature
packages only. All the available sensor packages on Cisco.com or on the local server will be downloaded
as part of a signature download.
The benefits of selective download are reduced download time, reduced disk storage space, and faster
troubleshooting because you can download only what you need.
There are four types of signature download available to you with the Edit Signature Download Filter
Settings dialog box:
•No filter
•Download all signatures for engine versions starting with [choose E4, E3, E2, or E1]
•Download all signature versions starting with [enter a signature version such as 1000]
•Download a single signature version number [enter a signature number such as 1000]
The default signature configuration is to download all signatures for engine versions starting with E4.
Tip This default value is the same for a new installation of Security Manager 4.3 and for upgrades from
previous versions.
Navigation Path
Select Tools > Security Manager Administration and then select IPS Updates from the table of
