Installing IDS-4210

This chapter describes IDS-4210 and how to install it and its accessories.

Note IDS-4215 replaced IDS-4210, which is no longer sold.

Note If you purchased an IDS-4210 before July 2003, you must upgrade the memory to 512 MB to install

Cisco IPS 5.x. for more information, see Upgrading the Memory, page 2-3.

Note IDS-4210 does not support inline (IPS) mode.

Caution The BIOS on IDS-4210 is specific to IDS-4210 and must only be upgraded under instructions from Cisco

with BIOS files obtained from the Cisco website. Installing a non-Cisco or third-party BIOS on

IDS-4210 voids the warranty. For more information on how to obtain instructions and BIOS files from

the Cisco website, see Obtaining Obtaining Cisco IPS Software, page 11-1.

Figure 2-2 Back Panel Features

Upgrading the Memory

IDS-4210, IDS-4210-K9, and IDS-4210-NFR must have 512 MB of RAM to support Cisco IPS 5.1. If

you are upgrading an existing IDS-4210, IDS-4210-K9, or IDS-4210-NFR to 5.1, you must insert one

additional 256-MB DIMM (part number IDS-4210-MEM-U) to upgrade the memory to the required 512

MB minimum.

Note Do not install an unsupported DIMM. Doing so nullifies the warranty.

Caution Follow proper safety procedures when performing these steps by reading the safety warnings in

Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco Intrusion Prevention System 4200 Series

Appliance Sensor.

To upgrade the memory, follow these steps:

Step 1 Log in to the CLI.

Step 2 Prepare the appliance to be powered off:

sensor# reset powerdown

Wait for the power down message before continuing with Step 3.

Note You can also power down the sensor from IDM or ASDM.

Step 3 Power off the appliance.

Step 4 Remove the power cord and other cables from the appliance.

Step 5 Place the appliance in an ESD-controlled environment.

For more information, see Working in an ESD Environment, page 1-25.

Upgrading the Memory

Step 6 Remove the chassis cover by unscrewing the screw on the front of the cover and sliding the cover straight

back.

Step 7 Locate the DIMM sockets and select the empty DIMM socket next to the existing DIMM.

Note The existing DIMM is installed in socket 0. The angled position of the DIMM sockets make

installing an additional DIMM in socket 1 difficult if a DIMM occupies socket 0. Therefore, you

should first remove the existing DIMM from socket 0, place the new DIMM in socket 1, and then

replace the existing DIMM in socket 0.

Step 8 Locate the ejector tabs on either side of the DIMM socket. Press down and out on tabs to open the slot

in the socket.

Step 9 Install the new DIMM, by positioning the DIMM into the socket and pressing it into place.

Note Do not force the DIMM into the socket. Alignment keys on the DIMM ensure that it only fits in

the socket one way. If you need additional leverage, you can gently press down on the DIMM

with your thumbs while pulling up on the ejector tabs.

Step 10 Replace the chassis cover and reconnect the power.

Step 11 Power on the sensor and make sure the new memory total is correct.

Note If the memory total does not reflect the added DIMMs, repeat Steps 1 through 4 to ensure the

DIMMs are seated correctly in the socket.

Warning

Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment.

Statement 1030

Caution Follow proper safety procedures when performing these steps by reading the safety warnings in

Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco Intrusion Prevention System 4200 Series

Appliance Sensor.

Note If you purchased an IDS-4210 before July 2003, you must upgrade the memory to 512 MB to install

Cisco IPS 5.x. For more information, see Upgrading the Memory, page 2-3.

To install IDS-4210 on the network, follow these steps:

Step 1 Position IDS-4210 on the network.

Step 2 Attach the power cord to IDS-4210 and plug it in to a power source (a UPS is recommended).

Note When you first plug an IDS-4210 into a power source, it powers on momentarily and then powers

off leaving the NIC link lights lit. This is normal behavior. Press the power switch to boot the

system into operation.

Step 3 Use the dual serial communication cable (PN 72-1847-01, included in the accessory kit) to attach a

laptop to the COM1 port of IDS-4210 (see Table 2-2 for a list of the terminal settings), or connect a

keyboard and monitor to IDS-4210.

Caution We recommend that you use the dual serial communication cable (PN 72-1847-01, included in the

accessory kit) rather than a keyboard and monitor, because some keyboards and monitors may be

incompatible with IDS-4210.

Installing IDS-4210

Note You can use a 180 rollover or straight-through patch cable to connect IDS-4210 to a port on a

terminal server with RJ-45 or hydra cable assembly connections. Use a M.A.S.H adapter (part

number 29-4077-02) to connect the appropriate cable to a port on the terminal server. For the

instructions for setting up a terminal server, see Setting Up a Terminal Server, page 1-14.

Step 4 Attach the network cables.

IDS-4210 has the following interfaces:

•FastEthernet0/0 is the sensing port.

•FastEthernet0/1 is the command and control port.

Caution Management and console ports are privileged administrative ports. Connecting them to an untrusted

network can create security concerns.

Step 5 Upgrade the memory on IDS-4210.

For the procedure, see Upgrading the Memory, page 2-3.

Caution You must upgrade the memory on IDS-4210 to a minimum of 512 MB before you can install the most

recent Cisco IPS software.

Step 6 Power on IDS-4210.

Step 7 Initialize IDS-4210.

For the procedure, see Initializing the Sensor, page 10-2.

Step 8 Upgrade IDS-4210 to the latest Cisco IPS software.

For the procedure, see Obtaining Cisco IPS Software, page 11-1.

You are now ready to configure intrusion detection on the appliance.
