Warning Port numbering for onboard interfaces was reversed from IDS 4.x to IPS 5.0 and later. The port naming
convention changed within the IPS application only; the physical chassis label remains unchanged.
To correlate chassis port labels to software port names, refer to the figure above.
IDS-4215 has the following interfaces:
• FastEthernet0/0 is the command and control port.
• FastEthernet0/1 is the sensing port.
• FastEthernet1/0, FastEthernet1/1, FastEthernet1/2, and FastEthernet1/3 are the optional sensing
ports available if you have the 4FE card installed.
Step 6 Power on IDS-4215.

Upgrading the BIOS and ROMMON, page
The BIOS/ROMMON upgrade is necessary to install the 4.1(4) system image, but not the 5.0(2)
system image. The 5.0(2) system image is smaller than the size limitation that applied to earlier
versions of ROMMON, while the 4.1(4) system image was larger.
