Hardware Interfaces Chapter 5 Installing the AIM IPS • The Cisco access routers only support one IDS/IPS per router. • When you reload the router, the AIM IPS also reloads. To ensure that there is no loss of data on the AIM IPS, make sure you shut down the module using the shutdown command before you use the reload command to reboot the router. For More Information For more information on which modules work with each other, see Interoperability With Other IPS Modules, page 5-3. Hardware Interfaces Figure 5-1 shows the router and the AIM IPS interfaces used for internal communication. You can configure the router interfaces through the Cisco IOS CLI and the AIM IPS interfaces through the IPS CLI, IDM, IME, or CSM. Figure 5-1 AIM IPS and Router Interfaces Router 1 Router interface to AIM-IPS 2 AIM-IPS interface to router AIM-IPS 191862 3 Router interface to external link 1 Router interface to the AIM IPS (IDS-Sensor 0/1) Uses the Cisco OS CLI to configure the IP address of the router interface that connects to the AIM IPS. This router IP address is used as the default router IP address when you configure Cisco IPS on the AIM IPS. 2 The AIM IPS interface to router (GigabitEthernet0/1) Configure the command and control interface using the IPS CLI, IDM, IME, or CSM. 3 Router interface to external link. Note You need two IP addresses to configure the AIM IPS. The AIM IPS has a command and control IP address that you configure through the Cisco IPS CLI. You also assign an IP address to the router for its internal interface (IDS-Sensor 0/x) to the AIM IPS. This IP address belongs to the router itself and is used for routing traffic to the command and control interface of the AIM IPS. It is used as the default router IP address when you set up the AIM IPS command and control interface.
