IDS Software Versioning
A signature update is the most dependent software file. To install the most recent
signature update, you must have the most recent service pack. Service packs are
dependent on the most recent minor version, which is dependent on the most
recent major version.
Note
See
4.x Software Release Examples, page 9-6
, for a table listing the types of files
with examples of filenames and corresponding software releases.
In addition there are system image files for the IDS-4215, IPS-4240, and
IPS-4255, a recovery partition file for the appliances, application partition files
for the IDSM-2 and NM-CIDS, a maintenance partition file for the IDSM-2, and
a helper image for the NM-CIDS:
•
System image files (IDS-4215, IPS-4240, IPS-4255 only)—Full IDS
application and recovery image used for reimaging an entire sensor.
•
Recovery partition image file (appliances only)—A recovery partition image
file is a hard-disk drive partition on appliances that contains a full IDS
application image to be used for recovery.
•
Application partition image file (IDSM-2 and NM-CIDS)—An application
partition image file is a full IDS application image that can be used to reimage
the application partition of the IDSM-2 and the NM-CIDS. Application
partition image files are released when new major or minor version upgrades
are released. Application partition image files are usually not released for
service pack or signature updates. A service pack may be released to address
defects identified in existing application partition images, but new
application partition images will not be produced for subsequently released
service packs.
•
Maintenance partition image file (IDSM-2 only)—A maintenance partition
image file is used to reimage the maintenance partition of the IDSM-2.
Maintenance partition files are released when new major or minor versions of
the maintenance partition are released. Maintenance partition image files are
not released for service packs to the maintenance partition. A service pack
may be released to address defects identified in existing maintenance
partition images, but new maintenance partition images are not produced for
subsequently released service packs.
