Installing System Images
Installing the AIM IPS System Image
To install the AIM IPS system image, follow these steps:
Step 1
Download the AIM IPS system image file (IPS-AIM-K9-sys-1.1-7.0-1-E3.img), and place it on a TFTP
server relative to the tftp root directory.
Note
Make sure the network is configured so that the AIM IPS can access the TFTP server.
If no TFTP server is available, you can configure the router to operate as a TFTP server.
router#
copy tftp: flash:
router#
configure terminal
router(config)#
tftp-server flash:IPS-AIM-K9-sys-1.1-7.0-1-E3.img
router(config)#
exit
router#
Step 2
Disable the heartbeat reset.
router#
service-module IDS-Sensor
0/
slot_number
heartbeat-reset disable
Note
Disabling the heartbeat reset prevents the router from resetting the module during system image
installation if the process takes too long.
Step 3
Session to the AIM IPS.
