Cisco IPS Manager Express (IME) 7.0

The Cisco IPS Manager express (IME) is a web-based Java Web Start application that enables you to configure, manage, and monitor the Cisco IPS sensor. Both Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox web browsers are supported.

The Home pane contains various knobs and widgets. These knobs and widgets can quickly help the administrator/user determine the health of the sensor and gets an overview of current network activity. The following gadgets are presented on the Home pane by default:

* Licensing

* Sensor Information

* Interface Status

* Sensor Health

* CPU, Memory, and Load

The Home pane can be customized by adding, removing, and renaming gadgets and dashboards. The available sensor gadgets can be displayed by clicking the Add Gadgets button.


You can modify the Cisco IPS sensor settings simply by opening the Cisco IDM Configuration pane by clicking the Configuration button on the Cisco IDM toolbar. For the most part, the majority of the Cisco IPS sensor features can be configured from here. There are four main configuration items in the Configuration pane of the Cisco IDM:

* Sensor Management: Configure various sensor device management functions.

* Sensor Setup: Reconfigure basic sensor settings.

* Interfaces: Configure individual sensing interfaces, as well as configure them in a particular operational
mode.

* Policies: Configure and tune Cisco IPS security policies to achieve optimal traffic analysis and response functionality.


The Cisco IDM supports the monitoring of the Cisco IPS sensor events. Click the Monitoring button to display the Cisco IPS sensor events, health, and performance indicators, and traffic and operational statistics.
