Configuring Learning Accept Mode

Chapter 9 Configuring Anomaly Detection

Use the learning-accept-modecommand in service anomaly detection submode to configure whether you want the sensor to create a new KB every so many hours. You can configure whether the KB is created and loaded (rotate) or saved (save only). You can schedule how often and when the KB is loaded or saved.

The new updated KB file name is the current date and time, YYYY-Mon-dd-hh_mm_ss, where Mon is the three-letter abbreviation of the month.

Note Anomaly detection learning accept mode uses the sensor local time.

The following options apply:

•learning-accept-mode—Specifies if and when the KB is saved and loaded:

–auto— Configures the sensor to automatically accept the KB.

–manual—Does not save the KB.

Note You can save and load the KB using the anomaly-detection{load save} commands.

•action—Specifies whether to rotate or save the KB:

–save-only—Saves the new KB. You can examine it and decide whether to load it into anomaly detection.

Note You can load the KB using the anomaly-detection load command.

–rotate—Saves the new KB and loads it as the current KB according to the schedule you define.

•schedule— Configures a schedule to accept the KB:

–calendar-schedule {days-of-week} {times-of-day}—Starts learning accept mode at specific times on specific days.

–periodic-schedule {interval} {start-time}—Starts learning accept mode at specific periodic intervals.

The first saving begins after a full interval between configuration time and start time. For example, if the time is now 16:00 and you configure start time at 16:30 with an interval of one hour, the first KB is saved at 17:30, because there was no one-hour interval between 16:00 and 16:30.

To configure learning accept mode, follow these steps:

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

Step 2 Enter anomaly detection submode.

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.
