FQDN

FWSM

Glossary

Fully Qualified Domain Name.A domain name that specifies its exact location in the tree hierarchy of the DNS. It specifies all domain levels, including the top-level domain, relative to the root domain. A fully qualified domain name is distinguished by this absoluteness in the name space.

Firewall Security Module. A module that can be installed in a Catalyst 6500 series switch. It uses the shun command to block. You can configure the FWSM in either single mode or multi-mode.

GMT

GRUB

GigaBit Interface Converter. Often refers to a fiber optic transceiver that adapts optical cabling to fiber interfaces. Fiber-ready switches and NICs generally provide GBIC and/or SFP slots. For more information, refer to the Catalyst Switch Cable, Connector, and AC Power Cord Guide.

Standard for a high-speed Ethernet, approved by the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) 802.3z standards committee in 1996.

The IPS sensor shares information with other devices through a global correlation database to improve the combined efficacy of all devices.

The software component of CollaborationApp that obtains and installs updates to the local global correlation databases.

The collective information obtained from and shared with collaborative devices such as IPS sensors.

Greenwich Mean Time. Time zone at zero degrees longitude. Now called Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

Grand Unified Bootloader. Boot loader is the first software program that runs when a computer starts. It is responsible for loading and transferring control to the operating system kernel software. The kernel, in turn, initializes the rest of the operating system.

H

H.225.0

An ITU standard that governs H.225.0 session establishment and packetization. H.225.0 actually

 

describes several different protocols: RAS, use of Q.931, and use of RTP.

H.245

An ITU standard that governs H.245 endpoint control.

H.323

Allows dissimilar communication devices to communicate with each other by using a standardized

 

communication protocol. H.323 defines a common set of CODECs, call setup and negotiating

 

procedures, and basic data transport methods.

half duplex

handshake

Capability for data transmission in only one direction at a time between a sending station and a receiving station. BSC is an example of a half-duplex protocol.

Sequence of messages exchanged between two or more network devices to ensure transmission synchronization.

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.
