Installing IDS-4235 and IDS-4250
Attach the network cables.
Step 4
IDS-4225 and IDS-4250 have the following interfaces:
GigabitEthernet0/0 is the sensing port.
•
GigabitEthernet0/1 is the command and control port.
•
GigabitEthernet1/0 and GigabitEthernet2/0 are the optional SX (fiber NIC) sensing ports (with two
•
SX cards installed).
GigabitEthernet2/0 and GigabitEthernet2/1 are the optional XL card sensing ports.
•
FastEthernet1/0, FastEthernet1/1, FastEthernet1/2, and FastEthernet1/3 are the optional 4FE card
•
sensing ports.
GigabitEthernet1/0 or GigabitEthernet2/0 (depending on the slot it is installed in) is the optional
•
(copper NIC) sensing port (with one TX card installed). Only one optional TX adapter is supported.
Power on the appliance.
Step 5
Caution
If the BIOS version is earlier than A04, you must apply the BIOS upgrade before installing Cisco IPS
5.0 on the appliance. For the procedure, see
Step 6
Initialize the appliance.
