IDS PIX FIREWALL

[drbk563]

How does the IDS on a PIX firewall help to protect the network? How do you setup the PIX firewall to use the IDS?

Thank You

Take a look here,

Specifically at the "ip audit" command. This should get you started.

I seriously wouldn't waste time on this as it's very basic, if you cannot afford standalone IDS/IPS I would recommend that you use SNORT,

Hope that helps

Thanks for the suggestion about SNORT, I will give it a try.
