Idp Database Updating - D-Link DFL-260E User Manual

6.5.2. IDP Availability for D-Link
Models
• Maintenance IDP
Maintenance IDP is the base IDP system included as standard with the NetDefend DFL 210,
800, 1600 and 2500.
Maintenance IDP is a simplified IDP that gives basic protection against IDP attacks. It is
upgradeable to the higher level and more comprehensive Advanced IDP which is discussed next.
IDP does not come as standard with the DFL-260, 260E, 860, 860E, 1660, 2560 and 2560G and
a subscription to Advanced IDP must be purchased for these models.
• Advanced IDP
Advanced IDP is a subscription based IDP system with a much broader range of database
signatures for more demanding installations. The standard subscription is for 12 months and
provides automatic IDP signature database updates.
This IDP option is available for all D-Link NetDefend models, including those that don't come
as standard with Maintenance IDP.
Maintenance IDP can be viewed as a restricted subset of Advanced IDP and the following
sections describe how the Advanced IDP option functions.
Subscribing to the D-Link Advanced IDP Service
Advanced IDP is purchased as an additional component to the base NetDefendOS license. It is a
subscription service and subscribing means that the IDP signature database can be downloaded to a
NetDefendOS installation and also that the database is regularly updated with the latest intrusion
threats.
