The IDSM-2 has a TCP reset interface—port 1. The IDSM-2 has a specific TCP reset interface because it cannot send TCP resets on its sensing ports.
If you have reset problems with IDSM-2, try the following:
•If the sensing ports are access ports (a single VLAN), you need to configure the reset port to be in the same VLAN.
•If the sensing ports are dot1q trunk ports (multi-VLAN), the sensing ports and reset port all must have the same native VLAN, and the reset port must trunk all the VLANs being trunked by both the sensing ports.
IDSM-2 (Figure 8-1) has a status indicator and a Shutdown button.
Figure 8-1 IDSM-2 Front Panel
Table 8-3 describes the IDSM-2 states as indicated by the status indicator.
To prevent corruption of IDSM-2, you must use the shutdown command to shut it down properly. For instructions on properly shutting down IDSM-2, see Step 1 of Removing IDSM-2. If IDSM-2 does not respond, firmly press the Shutdown button on the faceplate and wait for the Status indicator to turn amber. The shutdown procedure may take several minutes.
All Catalyst 6500 series switches support hot swapping, which lets you install, remove, replace, and rearrange modules without turning off the system power to the switch. When the system detects that a module has been installed or removed, it runs diagnostic and discovery routines, acknowledges the presence or absence of the module, and resumes system operation with no operator intervention.
This section contains the following topics:
Note You must have at least one supervisor engine running in the Catalyst 6500 series switch with IDSM-2. For more information, refer to the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Installation Guide.
You need the following tools to install IDSM-2 in the Catalyst 6500 series switches:
•Flat-blade screwdriver
•Wrist strap or other grounding device
•Antistatic mat or antistatic foam
Whenever you handle IDSM-2, always use a wrist strap or other grounding device to prevent serious damage from ESD. For more information, see Site and Safety Guidelines.
Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment. Statement 1030 |
Note The Catalyst 6509-NEB switch has vertical slots numbered 1 to 9 from right to left. Install IDSM-2 with the component side facing to the right.
The Catalyst 6006 and 6506 switch chassis each have six slots. The Catalyst 6009 and 6509 switch chassis each have nine slots. The Catalyst 6513 switch chassis has 13 slots. You can installing IDSM-2 in the following ways:
•You can install IDSM-2 in any slot that is not used by the supervisor engine.
•You can install up to eight IDSM-2s in a single chassis.
Note IDSM-2 works with any supervisor engine using SPAN, but the copy capture feature with security VACLs requires that the supervisor engine has the PFC or the MSFC option.
To install IDSM-2 in the Catalyst 6500 series switch, follow these steps:
Step 1 Make sure that you take necessary ESD precautions.
Warning During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card. Do not touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself. |
For more information, see Site and Safety Guidelines.
Step 2 Choose a slot for IDSM-2.
Note You can install IDSM-2 in any slot that is not reserved for a supervisor engine or other module. Refer to your switch documentation for information about which slots are reserved for the supervisor engine or other modules.
Step 3 Remove the installation screws (use a screwdriver, if necessary) that secure the filler plate to the desired slot.
Step 4 Remove the filler plate by prying it out carefully.
Step 5 Hold the IDSM-2 with one hand, and place your other hand under the IDSM-2 carrier to support it.
Step 6 Place IDSM-2 in the slot by aligning the notch on the sides of the IDSM-2 carrier with the groove in the slot.
Step 7 Keeping IDSM-2 at a 90-degree orientation to the backplane, carefully push it into the slot until the notches on both ejector levers engage the chassis sides.
Step 8 Using the thumb and forefinger of each hand, simultaneously pivot in both ejector levers to fully seat IDSM-2 in the backplane connector.
Note If you perform a hot swap, the console displays the message Module
x has been inserted. This message does not appear, however, if you are connected to the Catalyst 6500 series switch through a Telnet session.
Step 9 Use a screwdriver to tighten the installation screws on the left and right ends of IDSM-2.
Step 10 Verify that you have correctly installed IDSM-2 and can bring it online. For the procedure, see Verifying Installation.
Step 11 Initialize IDSM-2.
For the procedure, see Initializing the Sensor.
Step 12 Configure the switch for command and control access to IDSM-2.
For the procedure, refer to Configuring the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch for Command and Control Access to IDSM-2.
Step 13 Upgrade IDSM-2 to the most recent Cisco IDS software.
For the procedure, see Obtaining Cisco IPS Software.
Step 14 Set up IDSM-2 to capture IPS traffic in promiscuous mode or inline mode.
For the procedure, refer to Configuring IDSM-2.
You are now ready to configure IDSM-2 for intrusion prevention.

This procedure describes how to remove IDSM-2 from the Catalyst 6500 series switch.
Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment. Statement 1030 |
Warning During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card. Do not touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself. |
To remove IDSM-2, follow these steps:
Step 1 Shut down IDSM-2 by one of these methods:
•Log in to the IDSM-2 CLI and enter reset powerdown.
Note The reset powerdown command performs a shut down but does not remove power from IDSM-2. To remove power from IDSM-2, use the set module power down module_number command.
•Log in to the switch CLI and enter one of the following commands:
–For Catalyst software:
set module shutdown module_number
–For Cisco IOS software:
hw-module module module_number shutdown
•Shut down IDSM-2 through IDM.
•Press the Shutdown button.
Note Shutdown may take several minutes.
Step 2 Verify that IDSM-2 shuts down. Do not remove IDSM-2 until the status indicator is amber or off.
Step 3 Use a screwdriver to loosen the installation screws at the left and right sides of IDSM-2.
Step 4 Grasp the left and right ejector levers and simultaneously pull the left lever to the left and the right lever to the right to release IDSM-2 from the backplane connector.
Step 5 As you pull IDSM-2 out of the slot, place one hand under the carrier to support it.
Step 6 Carefully pull IDSM-2 straight out of the slot, keeping your other hand under the carrier to guide it.
Note Keep IDSM-2 at a 90-degree orientation to the backplane (horizontal to the floor).
Step 7 Place IDSM-2 on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam.
Step 8 If the slot is to remain empty, install a filler plate (part number 800-00292-01) to keep dust out of the chassis and to maintain proper airflow through the module compartment.

When IDSM-2 initially boots, by default it runs a partial memory test. You can enable a full memory test in Catalyst software and Cisco IOS software.
This section describes how to enable memory tests, and contains the following topics:
Use the set boot device boot_sequence module_number mem-test-full command to enable a full memory test. The full memory test takes about 12 minutes.
To enable a full memory test, follow these steps:
Step 1 Log in to the console.
Step 2 Enter privileged mode:
console> enable
Step 3 Enable the full memory test:
console> (enable) set boot dev cf:1 3 mem-test-full
Device BOOT variable = cf:1
Memory-test set to FULL
Warning: Device list is not verified but still set in the boot string.
console> (enable) set boot dev hdd:1 3 mem-test-full
Device BOOT variable = hdd:1
Memory-test set to FULL
Warning: Device list is not verified but still set in the boot string.
console> (enable)
The set boot device command can either contain cf:1 or hdd:1.
Step 4 Reset IDSM-2.
For the procedure, see Resetting IDSM-2.
The full memory test runs.
Note A full memory test takes more time to complete than a partial memory test.
Use the hw-module module module_number reset mem-test-full command to enable a full memory test. The full memory test takes about 12 minutes.
To enable a full memory test, follow these steps:
Step 1 Log in to the console.
Step 2 Enable the full memory test:
Router# hw-module module 9 reset mem-test-full
Device BOOT variable for reset = <empty>
Warning: Device list is not verified.
Proceed with reload of module?[confirm]
% reset issued for module 9
Router#
Step 3 Reset IDSM-2.
For the procedure, see Resetting IDSM-2.
The full memory test runs.
Note A full memory test takes more time to complete than a partial memory test.
If for some reason you cannot communicate with IDSM-2 through SSH, Telnet, or the switch session command, you must reset IDSM-2 from the switch console. The reset process requires several minutes.
This section describes how to reset IDMS-2, and contains the following topics:
To reset IDSM-2 from the CLI, follow these steps:
Step 1 Log in to the console.
Step 2 Enter privileged mode:
console> enable
Step 3 Reset IDSM-2 to the application partition or the maintenance partition:
console> (enable) reset module_number [hdd:1 | cf:1]
Note If you do not specify either the application partition (hdd:1 the default) or the maintenance partition (cf:1), IDSM-2 uses the boot device variable.
Example:
console> (enable) reset 3
2003 Feb 01 00:18:23 %SYS-5-MOD_RESET: Module 3 reset from console//
Resetting module 3... This may take several minutes.
2003 Feb 01 00:20:03 %SYS-5-MOD_OK: Module 3 is online.
console> (enable)
Use the hw-module module slot_number reset [hdd:1 | cf:1] command in EXEC mode to reset IDSM-2. The reset process takes several minutes. IDSM-2 boots into the boot partition you specify. If you do not specify the boot string, the default boot string is used.
To reset IDSM-2 from the CLI, follow these steps:
Step 1 Log in to the console.
Step 2 Reset IDSM-2:
Router# hw-module module module-number reset [hdd:1 | cf:1]
Note If you do not specify either the application partition (hdd:1 the default) or the maintenance partition (cf:1), IDSM-2 uses the boot device variable.
Example:
Router# hw-module module 8 reset
Device BOOT variable for reset =
Warning: Device list is not verified.
Proceed with reload of module? [confirm]
% reset issued for module 8
Router#
You can remove and restore power to IDSM-2 through the switch CLI. This section describes how to power IDSM-2 up and down through the switch CLI, and contains the following sections:
Once you power off IDSM-2, you must power it up through the switch CLI.
Note The IDSM-2 CLI reset powerdown command performs a shut down, but does not remove power from IDSM-2.
To power IDSM-2 up and down from the switch CLI, follow these steps:
Step 1 Log in to the console.
Step 2 Enter privileged mode:
console> enable
Step 3 Power up IDSM-2:
