If you install an upgrade on your sensor and the sensor is unusable after it reboots,
you must recover the system image of your sensor. Upgrading a sensor from any
Cisco IDS version before 4.0 also requires you to use the recover command or the
recovery/upgrade CD.
You can recover the system image of your sensor in the following ways:
For IDS appliances with a CD-ROM drive, use the recovery/upgrade CD.
•
See Using the Recovery/Upgrade CD with the Appliance, page
procedure.
For the IDS/IPS appliance, use the recover command.
•
See Recovering the Application Partition Image, page
procedure.
• For the IPS appliances, use the ROMMON to restore the system image.
See Installing the IDS-4215 System Image, page
IPS-4240 and IPS-4255 System Image, page
For NM-CIDS, use the bootloader.
•
See Reimaging the NM-CIDS Application Partition, page
procedure.
For IDSM-2, use the recover command.
•
See Reimaging the IDSM-2, page
When you recover the system image for your sensor, all accounts are removed and
the default account and password are reset to cisco.
You are installing a new software image. All configuration data is overwritten.
After you recover the system image with the recovery/upgrade CD, you must use
the setup command to initialize the appliance. You will need your configuration
information. You can obtain this information by generating a diagnostics report
through IDM.
