Chapter 6 Installing the IPS 4345 and IPS 4360

Removing and Installing the Power Supply

The power supplies each provide 400 W of output power and are used in a 1 + 1 redundant configuration. There is no input switch on the faceplate of the power supplies. The power supply is switched from Standby to ON by way of a system chassis STANDBY/ON switch. The power supply slot numbers are on the back of the chassis to the left side of each power supply. When facing the back of the chassis, power supply slot 0 (PS0) is to the left and power supply slot 1(PS1) is to the right. By default, the factory installs a single power supply in slot 0.

The appliance supports the following power supplies:

AC power supply—Provides 400 watt output power with two DC voltage outputs: +12 V and +5 V. The AC power supply operates between 85 and 264 VAC. The AC power supply current shares on the 12 V output and is used in a dual hot pluggable configuration. The AC power supply consumes a maximum of 471 W of input power.

DC power supply—Provides 400 watt output power with two DC voltage outputs: +12 V and +5.0 V. The power supply operates between –40.5 and –72 VDC. The DC power supply current shares on the 12 V output and is used in a dual hot pluggable configuration. The DC power supply consumes a maximum of 500 W of input power.

Figure 6-11shows both the removable AC (on the left) and DC (on the right) power supplies for the IPS 4360.

IPS4520K9 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.
