Chapter 3 Installing the IPS 4240 and IPS 4255

Installing the IPS 4240-DC

To install the IPS 4240-DC, follow these steps:

Step 1 Position the IPS 4240-DC on the network.

Step 2 Attach the grounding lug to the side of the appliance.

Cisco IPS 4240

Intrusion

series Prevention Sensor

148406

Note Use 8-32 screws to connect a copper standard barrel grounding lug to the holes. The appliance requires a lug where the distance between the center of each hole is 0.56 inches. The ground lug must be NRTL listed or recognized. In addition, the copper conductor (wires) must be used and the copper conductor must comply with the NEC code for ampacity. A lug is not supplied with the appliance.

Step 3 Place the appliance in a rack, if you are rack mounting it.

Step 4 Terminate the DC input wiring on a DC source capable of supplying at least 15 amps. A 15-amp circuit breaker is required at the 48-VDC facility power source. An easily accessible disconnect device should be incorporated into the facility wiring.

Step 5 Locate the DC-input terminal box.

Step 6 Power off the IPS 4240-DC. Make sure that power is removed from the DC circuit. To make sure all power is OFF, locate the circuit breaker on the panel board that services the DC circuit, switch the circuit breaker to the OFF position, and tape the switch handle of the circuit breaker in the OFF position.

Step 7 Remove the DC power supply plastic shield.

Step 8 Strip the ends of the wires for insertion into the power connect lugs on the IPS 4240-DC.

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.
