PIX IDS

[RobG2001]

I'm new to my PIX 515s and I can't get my PIX to accept any of the IDS related commands I'm trying. My version is:

Cisco Secure PIX Firewall Version 5.1(2)

Licensed Features:
Failover: Enabled
VPN-DES: Disabled
VPN-3DES: Disabled
Maximum Interfaces: 6

Do I need to upgrade?
Thanks for any help.
Robert

Robert,

IDS didn't make it into PIX OS until version 5.3. You'll need to upgrade the software imgae.

While you are at it you should also claim your freee DES software key. That way you can use SSH to securely telnet to the PIX from the network.

Liberty for All,

Brian
