Overview/Description
Cisco Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) sensors allow you to use multiple virtual contexts (also called virtual sensors) that allow the use of different IPS policies on different sets of inline or promiscuous interfaces. Additionally, Cisco IPS sensors are often used in environments that demand high-service availability and deterministic network performance and may require specific design decisions or configuration tuning to perform optimally. This course provides configuration guidance on Cisco IPS policy virtualization, and enables you to choose Cisco IPS network integration methods that can provide fault-tolerant IPS solutions as well as IPS solutions that provide optimal performance.
