Configuring NTP

Chapter 3 Setting Up the Sensor

Configuring Time

sensor(config-hos)# exit

Apply Changes:?[yes]:

Step 11 Press Enter to apply the changes or enter no to discard them.

Configuring Time Zones Settings

Use the time-zone-settingscommand to configure the time zone settings on the sensor, such as the time zone name the sensor displays whenever summertime settings are not in effect and the offset.

To configure the time zone settings on the sensor, follow these steps:

Step 1 Log in to the sensor using an account with administrator privileges.

Step 2 Enter time zone settings submode.

sensor# configure terminal

sensor(config)# service host sensor(config-hos)# time-zone-settings

Step 3 Configure the time zone name that is displayed whenever summertime settings are not in effect. The default is UTC.

sensor(config-hos-tim)#standard-time-zone-name CST

Step 4 Configure the offset in minutes. The offset is the number of minutes you add to UTC to get the local time. The default is 0.

sensor(config-hos-tim)# offset -360

Step 5 Verify your settings.

sensor(config-hos-tim)# show settings time-zone-settings

-----------------------------------------------

offset: -360 minutes default: 0

standard-time-zone-name: CST default: UTC

-----------------------------------------------

sensor(config-hos-tim)#

Step 6 Exit time zone settings submode.

sensor(config-hos-tim)# exit

sensor(config-hos)# exit Apply Changes:?[yes]:

Step 7 Press Enter to apply the changes or enter no to discard them.

IPS4510K9 specifications

Cisco Systems has long been a leading player in network security, and its IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) series is a testament to its commitment to safeguarding digital environments. Among its notable offerings are the IPS4510K9 and IPS4520K9 models, both designed to provide advanced threat protection for mid-sized to large enterprise networks.

The Cisco IPS4510K9 and IPS4520K9 are distinguished by their cutting-edge features that help organizations defend against a myriad of cyber threats. These systems utilize a multi-layered approach to security, integrating intrusion prevention, advanced malware protection, and comprehensive visibility across the network.

One of the primary characteristics of the IPS4510K9 is its high performance. It boasts a throughput of up to 1 Gbps, making it suitable for environments that demand rapid data processing and real-time responses to threats. The IPS4520K9, on the other hand, enhances that capability with improved throughput of up to 2 Gbps, accommodating larger enterprises with heavier network traffic. These models are equipped with powerful processors that support complex signature matching and can intelligently distinguish between legitimate traffic and potential threats.

In addition to performance, both models are designed with scalability in mind. They can be easily integrated into existing Cisco infrastructures. This facilitates a seamless enhancement of security without causing significant interruptions to ongoing operations. Moreover, they offer flexible deployment options, allowing organizations to operate them inline or out of band depending on their specific needs.

The Cisco IPS4510K9 and IPS4520K9 leverage advanced detection technologies, utilizing a variety of signature types and heuristic analysis to detect known and unknown threats effectively. They are equipped with real-time alerting and reporting capabilities, giving security teams immediate visibility into potential breaches and enabling them to respond swiftly.

Furthermore, both models support a range of management options through the Cisco Security Manager, allowing for centralized administration, streamlined policy management, and enhanced monitoring capabilities. Automated updates ensure the systems remain current with the latest threat intelligence, vital for staying ahead of evolving cyber threats.

In summary, the Cisco Systems IPS4510K9 and IPS4520K9 represent powerful solutions for organizations seeking robust intrusion prevention capabilities. With their high performance, scalability, and advanced detection technologies, these systems are essential tools in the ever-changing landscape of cybersecurity, providing enterprises with the peace of mind needed to operate securely in today's digital world.
