Caution Read the safety warnings in the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco Intrusion Prevention System 4500 Series Sensor Appliance document and follow proper safety procedures when performing the steps in this guide.
Product Overview
The IPS 4510 delivers 3Gbps of intrusion prevention performance based on real world deployment traffic patterns. You can use the IPS 4510 to protect multi-Gbps aggregated traffic traversing switches from multiple subnets and for medium sized data centers. The IPS 4510 is a purpose-built device that has support for both copper and fiber NIC environments thus providing flexibility of deployment in any environment. Based on the ASA 5585-X chassis, the IPS 4510 provides a proven hardware environment for stand-alone IPS protection. It ships with one power supply module, but optional redundant, hot-swappable power supply modules are available as well as hot-swappable fan modules in case of failures. All port numbers are numbered from right to left beginning with 0. This platform replaces the IPS 4270-20.
The IPS 4520 delivers 5 Gbps of intrusion prevention performance. You can use the IPS 4520 to protect multi-Gigabit networks and aggregated traffic traversing switches from multiple subnets. The IPS 4520 is a purpose-built device that has support for both copper and fiber NIC environments thus providing flexibility of deployment in any environment. The IPS 4520 ships with two power supply modules, but optional redundant, hot-swappable power supply modules are available as well as hot-swappable fan modules in case of failures. All port numbers are numbered from right to left beginning with 0. It is also based on the ASA 5585-X chassis.
Both the IPS 4510 and IPS 4520 have a console port, an auxiliary port, two 1 Gb (copper) management ports, and a total of 10 data ports—6 GigabitEthernet copper ports and 4 SFP/SFP+ module (1 or 10 Gb) ports.
Note The management ports are Management 0/0 and Management 0/1. Management 0/1 is reserved for future use.
Note Online insertion and removal (OIR) of the SFP/SFP+ module, power supply module, and fan module is supported.
Caution If you remove a power supply or fan module, replace it immediately to prevent disruption of service.
IDM
The IPS 4510 and IPS 4520 support the Intrusion Prevention System Device Manager (IDM) 7.1.4 and later. IDM delivers security management and monitoring through an intuitive, easy-to-use web-based management interface. IDM is a Java Web Start application that enables you to configure and manage your IPS 4510 and IPS 4520. IDM is bundled with IPS 7.1. You can access it through Internet Explorer or Firefox web browsers.
