Chapter 6 Installing the IPS 4345 and IPS 4360

Product Overview

The IPS 4345 delivers 500 Megabits of intrusion prevention performance. You can use the IPS 4345 to protect both half Gigabit subnets and aggregated traffic traversing switches from multiple subnets. The IPS 4345 is a purpose-built device that has support for both copper and fiber NIC environments thus providing flexibility of deployment in any environment. It replaces the IPS 4240 and the IPS 4255.

The IPS 4360 delivers 1 Gigabit of intrusion prevention performance. You can use the IPS 4360 to protect Gigabit subnets and aggregated traffic traversing switches from multiple subnets. The IPS 4360 is a purpose-built device that has support for both copper and fiber NIC environments thus providing flexibility of deployment in any environment. It replaces the IPS 4260.

All connectivity is on the back of the appliance. The IPS 4345 and the IPS 4360 have eight Gigabit Ethernet network ports. The network port numbers increase from right to left and from bottom to top. There is also a built-in management port, a console interface, and 2 USB ports.

The IPS 4345 monitors 500 Megabits of aggregate network traffic on multiple sensing interfaces and is also inline ready. It supports both copper and fiber interfaces. The 500 Mbps performance is traffic combined from all sensing interfaces. The 500 Mbps performance for the IPS 4345 is based on multiple models of common traffic mixes based on common deployment scenarios while running IPS 7.1.(3)E4 software.

The IPS 4360 monitors greater than 1 Gbps of aggregate network traffic on multiple sensing interfaces and is also inline ready. It supports both copper and fiber interfaces. The 1-Gbps performance is traffic combined from all sensing interfaces. The 1-Gbps performance for the IPS 4360 is based on multiple models of common traffic mixes based on common deployment scenarios while running IPS 7.1.(3)E4 software.
