Tuning.  

The first section of the guide provides a detailed step-by-step process using the Cisco IOS 

Software command-line interface (CLI) to get started in using the Cisco IOS IPS 5.x format 

signatures. It contains the following five steps: 

Step 1: Downloading Cisco IOS IPS Files 

Step 2: Creating Directory on Flash 

Step 3: Configuring Cisco IOS IPS Crypto Key 

Step 4: Enabling Cisco IOS IPS 

Step 5: Loading Signatures to Cisco IOS IPS 

Each step and specific commands are described. The Additional Commands and References 

section under each step provides additional information. Example configurations are displayed in a 

box below each command. 

The second section of the guide provides instructions and examples on advanced options for 

signature tuning. Topics include: 

 

Enable/Disable Signatures 

 

Retire/Unretire Signatures 

 

Change Signature Actions 

Prerequisites 

Before getting started with the above steps, ensure that you have the following:
