This is not a limitation within the appliance but is protocol inherent.
AAA technology will be discussed in depth in Part II of this book.
IPS 4200 Series Appliance Sensors (formerly known as IDS 4200)
The IPS sensor appliance system management can be performed in two ways:
Console access: The IPS Sensor software provides a command-line interface (CLI), which is a fullfeatured
Cisco IOS software-like CLI that provides device configuration. Although using the CLI allows the
user to configure most of the configuration and administrative tasks, a web-based graphical interface is
more intuitive and easy to navigate.
Web-based GUI interface using HTTP or HTTPS: After the sensor is initialized using the console, the
administrator can use the HTTP or HTTPS web-based user-interface application to perform configuration,
administration, and monitoring tasks. HTTPS is enabled by default.
A step-by-step setup wizard is available to configure basic initialization tasks using the setup command. The
setup command allows configuring basic sensor settings, including the hostname, IP interfaces, Telnet server,
web server port, ACLs, time settings, and assigning and enabling interfaces. After the sensor is initialized, it can
communicate over the network using the IDM, VMS, or Cisco Intrusion Prevention System Device Manager.
