Installing the NME IPS System Image
Note
Use the
show configuration | include interface ids-sensor
command to determine the NME IPS slot
number.
To install the NME IPS system image, follow these steps:
Step 1
Download the NME IPS system image file (IPS-NME-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 NME IPS can access the TFTP server.
If no TFTP server is available, you can configure the router to operate as a TFTP server.

copy tftp: flash:
router#
configure terminal
router(config)#
tftp-server flash:IPS-NME-K9-sys-1.1-7.0-1-E3.img
router(config)#
exit
