Software and Hardware Requirements

NM-CIDS supports the following software:
•
Cisco IOS software 12.2(15)ZJ or later

Caution
Do not confuse Cisco IOS IDS (a software-based intrusion-detection application that runs in the Cisco
IOS) with the IDS that runs on NM-CIDS. NM-CIDS runs Cisco IPS 5.0. Because performance can be
reduced and duplicate alarms can be generated, we recommend that you do not run Cisco IOS IDS and
Cisco IPS 5.0 simultaneously.
NM-CIDS supports the following feature sets:
•
IOS IP/FW/IDS
•
IOS IP/FW/IDS PLUS IPSEC 56
