Chassis Features
IME
The Intrusion Prevention System Manager Express (IME) 7.2.3 and later also support the IPS 4510 and
IPS 4520. IME is a network management application that provides system health, events, and
collaboration monitoring in addition to reporting and configuration for up to ten sensors. IME monitors
sensor health using customizable dashboards and provides security alerts through RSS feed integration
from the Cisco Security Intelligence Operations site. It monitors global correlation data, which you can
view in events and reports. It monitors events and lets you sort views by filtering, grouping, and
colorization. IME also supports tools such, as ping, trace route, DNS lookup, and whois lookup for
selected events. It contains a flexible reporting network. It embeds the IDM configuration component to
allow for a seamless integration between the monitoring and configuration of IPS devices. Within IME
you can set up your sensors, configure policies, monitor IPS events, and generate reports. IME works in
single application mode—the entire application is installed on one system and you manage everything
from that system.
