Install Cisco IDS Host Sensor


Note   For performance and security operation, Cisco recommends that you install CSPM and the Cisco IDS Host Sensor Console on separate servers.

The Cisco IDS Host Sensor CD contains the following two software components:

  • Console software—Provides management of IDS Host Agents

  • Agent software—Provides security protection for critical operating systems and web servers

Both the Console software and Agent software operate for 90 days in evaluation mode. To extend use of the console beyond the 90 days, you must register at Cisco.com and obtain a license key.

After you register, Cisco Systems will send you an e-mail notification with the license key for the Console without additional payment. The Agent installed on the Console server does not need a license key. For all other Agents, you must purchase and register for the license keys separately. See the ordering information for the Agents at the following website: http://www.cisco.com/go/id s

Entering the Console license key disables nonlicensed Agents. To avoid disabling nonlicensed Agents, you must do one of the following within the 90 day evaluation period:

  • Enter the license keys for the Console and Agents at the same time.

  • Enter the license key for the Console after you have completed evaluating the Agents.

Buying an Agent license key allows you to have your Agents updated from Cisco.com, which offers protection against the latest threats. For details about registration, see Cisco Intrusion Detection System Host Sensor Registration document shipped with the product.

You must install the Console software before installing the Agent software. Once the Console is in place, you can proceed with installation of the Agent.

This section contains:

Install Cisco IDS Host Sensor Console on Windows 2000 or Windows NT


Note   The Cisco IDS Host Console can be installed on Windows 2000 and Windows NT servers.

The Cisco IDS Host Sensor allows you to use either Local or Domain installation.

  • Use a Local installation if you are operating in a workgroup environment.

  • Use a Domain installation if you are using a Windows NT Domain architecture or Windows 2000 Active Directory and want to retrieve user group information from the domain controllers on your network.

Installation takes approximately 15 minutes.


Step 1   Log into the computer on which you want to install the Console.

  • Log in as local administrator if you are going to use a Local installation of Host Sensor.

  • Log in as domain administrator if you are going to use a Domain installation of Host Sensor.

Step 2   Close any open applications.


Caution   The Cisco IDS Host Sensor Console installation cannot proceed while components of CSPM are running. To install the Cisco IDS Host Sensor Console, exit the installation, close CSPM, manually stop the Windows service Cisco Controlled Host Component in the Services Control Panel, and restart the console installation.

Step 3   Stop any antivirus software.

Step 4   Insert the Cisco IDS Host Sensor CD into the CD-ROM drive.

Technical Assistance Center

The Cisco TAC is available to all customers who need technical assistance with a Cisco product, technology, or solution. Two types of support are available through the Cisco TAC: the Cisco TAC Web Site and the Cisco TAC Escalation Center.

Inquiries to Cisco TAC are categorized according to the urgency of the issue:

  • Priority level 4 (P4)—You need information or assistance concerning Cisco product capabilities, product installation, or basic product configuration.

  • Priority level 3 (P3)—Your network performance is degraded. Network functionality is noticeably impaired, but most business operations continue.

  • Priority level 2 (P2)—Your production network is severely degraded, affecting significant aspects of business operations. No workaround is available.

  • Priority level 1 (P1)—Your production network is down, and a critical impact to business operations will occur if service is not restored quickly. No workaround is available.

Which Cisco TAC resource you choose is based on the priority of the problem and the conditions of service contracts, when applicable.

Cisco TAC Web Site

The Cisco TAC Web Site allows you to resolve P3 and P4 issues yourself, saving both cost and time. The site provides around-the-clock access to online tools, knowledge bases, and software. To access the Cisco TAC Web Site, go to the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/tac

All customers, partners, and resellers who have a valid Cisco services contract have complete access to the technical support resources on the Cisco TAC Web Site. The Cisco TAC Web Site requires a Cisco.com login ID and password. If you have a valid service contract but do not have a login ID or password, go to the following URL to register:

http://www.cisco.com/register/

If you cannot resolve your technical issues by using the Cisco TAC Web Site, and you are a Cisco.com registered user, you can open a case online by using the TAC Case Open tool at the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/tac/caseopen

If you have Internet access, it is recommended that you open P3 and P4 cases through the Cisco TAC Web Site.

Cisco TAC Escalation Center

The Cisco TAC Escalation Center addresses issues that are classified as priority level 1 or priority level 2; these classifications are assigned when severe network degradation significantly impacts business operations. When you contact the TAC Escalation Center with a P1 or P2 problem, a Cisco TAC engineer will automatically open a case.
