Chapter 15 Configuring SNMP

Configuring SNMP Traps

•trap-destinations—Defines the destinations to send error events and alert events generated from signature actions:

–trap-community-name—Specifies the community name used when sending the trap. If no community name is specified the general trap community name is used.

–trap-port—Specifies the port number to send the SNMP trap to.

Configuring SNMP Traps

To configure SNMP traps, follow these steps:

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

Step 2 Enter notification submode.

sensor# configure terminal

sensor(config)# service notification

sensor(config-not)#

Step 3 Enable SNMP traps.

sensor(config-not)#enable-notifications true

Step 4 Specify the parameters for the SNMP trap:

a.Specify the error events you want to be notified about through SNMP traps.

sensor(config-not)#error-filter {error warning fatal}

Note The error-filter [error warning fatal] command includes error, warning, and fatal traps. It filters in (not filters out) the traps based on severity.

b.Specify whether you want detailed SNMP traps.

sensor(config-not)#enable-detail-traps true

c.Specify whether you want health traps (heartbeat and health metric change traps).

sensor(config-not)#enable-health-traps true

Note Make sure heartbeat and sensor health metrics are enabled.

d.Enter the community string to be included in the detailed traps.

sensor(config-not)#trap-community-name TRAP1

Step 5 Specify the parameters for the SNMP trap destinations so the sensor knows which management workstations to send them to:

a.Enter the IP address of the SNMP management station.

sensor(config-not)#trap-destinations 10.0.0.0

b.Enter the UDP port of the SNMP management station. The default is 162

sensor(config-not-tra)# trap-port 162

c.Enter the trap community string.

sensor(config-not-tra)#trap-community-name AUSTIN_PUBLI

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.
