Shutting Down, Reloading, and Resetting NM-CIDS

The Cisco IOS provides the following commands to control NM-CIDS: shutdown, reload, and reset:
•
Caution Make sure you execute a shutdown command before you remove NM-CIDS from the router. Failing to
do so can lead to the loss of data or the corruption of the hard-disk drive.
•
•
Hard-disk drive data loss only occurs if you issue the reset command without first shutting down
Caution
NM-CIDS. If NM-CIDS is still running correctly, use the reload command rather than the reset
command. You can use the reset command safely in other situations.

Checking the Status of the Cisco IPS Software

Use the status command to check the status of the Cisco IPS software running on the router:
router# service-module ids-sensor slot_number/0 status
78-16527-01
If the counters are not increasing, make sure the you executed Steps 3 though 6 properly and that
FastEthernet0/0 was added to the virtual sensor when you initialized the NM-CIDS with the setup
command.

shutdown—Brings the operating system down gracefully:
router# service-module ids-sensor slot_number/0 shutdown
reload—Performs a graceful halt and reboot of the operating system on NM-CIDS:
router# service-module ids-sensor slot_number/0 reload
reset—Resets the hardware on NM-CIDS. Typically this command is used to recover from a
shutdown.
router# service-module ids-sensor slot_number/0 reset
The following warning appears:
router# service-module ids-sensor 1/0 reset
Use reset only to recover from shutdown or failed state
Warning: May lose data on the hard disc!
