Choose Category
Because router memory and resource constraints may prevent the use of all the
available signatures, there are two categories of signatures—basic and advanced.
In the Choose Category field, choose the category that will allow the Cisco IOS
IPS to function efficiently on the router. The basic category is appropriate for
routers with less than 128 MB of available flash memory. The advanced category
is appropriate for routers with more than 128 MB of available flash memory.
Add or Edit a Config Location
Specify a location for storing the signature information and the delta file that the
Cisco IOS IPS will use.
Specify config location on this router
To specify a location on the router, click the button to the right of the Directory
Name field and choose the directory in which you want to store the configuration
information.
Note If the router has a LEFS-based file system, you will be unable to create a directory
in router memory. In this case, flash: is used as the config location.
Specify config location using URL
To specify a location on a remote system, specify the protocol and path of the
URL needed to reach the location. For example, if you want to specify the URL
http://172.27.108.5/ips-cfg, enter 172.27.108.5/ips-cfg.
Note Do not include the protocol in the path that you enter. Cisco SDM adds the
protocol automatically. If you enter the protocol, Cisco SDM displays an error
message.
In the No. of Retries and Timeout fields, specify how many times the router is to
attempt to contact the remote system, and how long the router is to wait for a
response before stopping the contacting attempts.
