Chapter 8 Configuring Event Action Rules

Configuring Event Action Filters

ipv6-attacker-address-range—Specifies the range set of IPv6 attacker address(es) for this item (for example, <XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX>-<XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX: XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX>[,<XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX>- <XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX>].

Note The second IPv6 address in the range must be greater than or equal to the first IPv6 address. If you do not specify an IPv6 attacker address range, all IPv6 attacker addresses are matched.

ipv6-victim-address-range—Specifies the range set of victim address(es) for this item (for example, <XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX>-<XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX: XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX>[,<XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX>- <XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX>].

Note The second IPv6 address in the range must be greater than or equal to the first IPv6 address. If you do not specify an IPv6 victim address range, all IPv6 victim addresses are matched.

no—Removes an entry or selection setting.

os-relevance—Specifies the event OS relevance for this filter:

relevant—Specifies that the event is relevant to the target OS.

not-relevant—Specifies that the event is not relevant to the target OS.

unknown—It is unknown whether the event is relevant to the target OS.

risk-rating-range—Specifies the range of risk rating values for this filter item.

signature-id-range—Specifies the range set of signature ID(s) for this item (for example, 1000-2000,3000-3000).

stop-on-match {true false}—Specifies to continue evaluating filters or stop when this filter item is matched.

subsignature-id-range—Specifies the range set of subsignature ID(s) for this item (for example, 0-2,5-5).

user-comment—Lets you add your comments about this filter item.

victim-address-range—Specifies the range set of victim address(es) for this item (for example, 10.20.1.0-10.20.1.255,10.20.5.0-10.20.5.255).

Note The second IP address in the range must be greater then or equal to the first IP address. If you do not specify a victim address range, all IPv4 attacker addresses are matched.

victim-port-range—Specifies the range set of victim port(s) for this item (for example, 147-147,8000-10000).

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.
