Introducing the IPS Appliance

Note

The currently supported Cisco IPS appliances are the IPS 4240, IPS 4255, and IPS 4260 [IPS 7.0(x) and 
later and IPS 7.1(5) and later], IPS 4270-20 [IPS 7.1(3) and later], IPS 4345 and IPS 4360 [IPS 7.1(3) 
and later], and IPS 4510 and IPS 4520 [IPS 7.1(4) and later].

The IPS appliance is a high-performance, plug-and-play device. The appliance is a component of the 
IPS, a network-based, real-time intrusion prevention system. You can use the IPS CLI, IDM, IME, 
ASDM, or CSM to configure the appliance. For a list of IPS documents and how to access them, refer
