IPS CLI Configuration Guide
This guide is a task-based configuration guide for the Cisco IPS 7.1 CLI. The term “sensor” is used
throughout this guide to refer to all sensor models, unless a procedure refers to a specific appliance or
module, then the specific model name is used.
For an alphabetical list of all IPS commands, refer to the Command Reference for Cisco Intrusion
Prevention System 7.1. For information on locating all IPS 7.1 documents on Cisco.com, refer to the
Documentation Roadmap for Cisco Intrusion Prevention System 7.1.
You can also use an IPS manager to configure your sensor. For information on how to access
documentation that describes how to use IPS managers, refer to the Documentation Roadmap for Cisco
Intrusion Prevention System 7.1.
