Chapter 3 Setting Up the Sensor

Configuring Authentication and User Parameters

If you do not specify a password, the system prompts you for one. Use the password command to change the password for existing users. Use the privilege command to change the privilege for existing users.

The username follows the pattern ^[A-Za-z0-9()+:,_/-]+$, which means the username must start with a letter or number, and can include any letter A to Z (capital or small), any number 0 to 9, - and _, and can contain 1 to 64 characters. A valid password is 8 to 32 characters long. All characters except space are allowed.

You receive the following error messages if you do not create a valid password:

•Error: setEnableAuthenticationTokenStatus : The password is too short.

•Error: setEnableAuthenticationTokenStatus : Failure setting the account’s password: it does not contain enough DIFFERENT characters

Note You cannot use the privilege command to give a user service privileges. If you want to give an existing user service privileges, you must remove that user and then use the username command to create the service account.

To add and remove users, follow these steps:

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

Step 2 Enter configuration mode.

sensor# configure terminal

Step 3 Specify the parameters for the user.

sensor(config)# username username password password privilege

administrator/operator/viewer

For example, to add the user “tester” with a privilege level of administrator and the password “testpassword,” enter the following command:

Note If you do not want to see the password in clear text, wait for the password prompt. Do not enter the password along with the username and privilege.

sensor(config)# username tester privilege administrator

Enter Login Password: ************

Re-enter Login Password: ************

sensor(config)#

Note If you do not specify a privilege level for the user, the user is assigned the default viewer privilege.

Step 4 Verify that the user has been added. A list of users is displayed.

sensor(config)# exit

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.
