Updating IDS Signatures

Every two weeks, signatures packs for the IDS sensors are updated and posted to the Cisco Web site. In order to obtain updated signature packs, a CCO login account is required. Without this account, access to software upgrades and signature pack upgrades is not possible. This section covers how to update signature packs on the IDS sensor as well as how to configure automatic updates and active update notifications.

IDS version 3.0 uses the idsupdate command both for scheduled and manual updates of service packs and signature packs. The idsupdate command also can be used to set up scheduled updates. The IDS 4.0 software uses the upgrade command.
