You specify the following information to schedule automatic upgrades: • Server IP address • Path of the directory on the file server where the sensor checks for upgrade files • File copy protocol (SCP or FTP) • Username and password • Upgrade schedule You must download the software upgrade from Cisco.com and copy it to the upgrade directory before the sensor can poll for automatic upgrades. 12-6 Cisco Intrusion Prevention System Appliance and Module Installation Guide for IPS 7.0 OL-18504-01
