Introducing IDS-4215

IDS-4215 can monitor up to 80 Mbps of aggregate traffic and is suitable for T1/E1 and T3 environments.
With the addition of the four-port fast Ethernet (4FE) card, IDS-4215 supports five sensing interfaces
(10/100BASE-TX), which provide simultaneous protection for multiple subnets.
The 80-Mbps performance for IDS-4215 is based on the following conditions: aggregation of traffic
Note
from all five sensing interfaces, 800 new TCP connections per second, 800 HTTP transactions per
second, average packet size of 445 bytes, and system running Cisco IPS 5.0 software.
The sensing interfaces and the command and control interface are all 10/100BASE-TX.
