This chapter describes the functions and operations of intrusion detection systems (IDS) and intrusion prevention systems (IPS). It explains the underlying IDS and IPS technology embedded in the Cisco IOS IPS solutions. It describe the use of signatures, the need for IPS alarm monitoring, and the design considerations in deploying IPS.
