Allocate-ips, Defaults, 18-22 | Cisco Systems IPS4510K9 instruction

Chapter 18 Configuring the ASA 5500-X IPS SSP

allocate-ips

To allocate an IPS virtual sensor to a security context if you have the ASA 5500-X IPS SSP installed, use the allocate-ipscommand in context configuration mode. To remove a virtual sensor from a context, use the no form of this command.

allocate-ipssensor_name [mapped_name] [default]

no allocate-ips sensor_name [mapped_name] [default]

Syntax Description	default	(Optional) Sets one sensor per context as the default sensor; if the context
		configuration does not specify a sensor name, the context uses this default
		sensor. You can only configure one default sensor per context. If you want to
		change the default sensor, enter the no allocate-ipssensor_name command
		to remove the current default sensor before you allocate a new default sensor.
		If you do not specify a sensor as the default, and the context configuration
		does not include a sensor name, then traffic uses the default sensor on the
		ASA 5500-X IPS SSP.

	mapped_name	(Optional) Sets a mapped name as an alias for the sensor name that can be
		used within the context instead of the actual sensor name. If you do not
		specify a mapped name, the sensor name is used within the context. For
		security purposes, you might not want the context administrator to know
		which sensors are being used by the context. Or you might want to genericize
		the context configuration. For example, if you want all contexts to use
		sensors called “sensor1” and “sensor2,” then you can map the “highsec” and
		“lowsec” senors to sensor1 and sensor2 in context A, but map the “medsec”
		and “lowsec” sensors to sensor1 and sensor2 in context B.

	sensor_name	Sets the sensor name configured on the ASA 5500-X IPS SSP. To view the
		sensors that are configured on the ASA 5500-X IPS SSP, enter allocate-ips
		?. All available sensors are listed. You can also enter the show ips command.
		In the system execution space, the show ips command lists all available
		sensors; if you enter it in the context, it shows the sensors you already
		assigned to the context. If you specify a sensor name that does not yet exist
		on the ASA 5500-X IPS SSP, you get an error, but the allocate-ipscommand
		is entered as is. Until you create a sensor of that name on the
		ASA 5500-X IPS SSP, the context assumes the sensor is down.


Defaults	No default behavior or values.

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.
