6.0(1) |
This command was introduced. |
Usage Guidelines
An error is generated if anomaly detection is not active when you execute this command. You cannot overwrite the initial KB file. If the KB filename already exists, whether you choose a new name or use the default, the old KB file is overwritten.
There is a limit on the size the KB file can occupy. If a new KB is generated, and this limit is reached, the oldest KB (assuming it is not current or initial) is deleted.
Note This command is IPS-specific. There is no related IOS command in Release 12.0 or earlier.
Examples
The following example saves the current KB and stores it as my-kb:
sensor# anomaly-detection vs0 save my-kb
attemptLimit
To lock accounts so that users cannot keep trying to log in after a certain number of failed attempts, use the attemptLimit number command in authentication submode. The default is 0, which indicates unlimited authentication attempts. For security purposes, you should change this number.
attemptLimit number
Syntax Description
attemptLimit |
Sets the limit on how many times a user can try to log in to the sensor. |
number |
Specifies the number of failed attempts before the account is locked. |
Defaults

5.0 |
This command was introduced. |
Usage Guidelines
The attemptLimit command provides a way for an administrator to set the limit on how many times a user can try to log in to the sensor before the account is locked. A locked account is indicated by parenthesis in the show users all output.
When you configure account locking, local authentication, as well as RADIUS authentication, is affected. After a specified number of failed attempts to log in locally or in to a RADIUS account, the account is locked locally on the sensor. For local accounts, you can reset the password or use the unlock user username command to unlock the account. For RADIUS user accounts, you must use the unlock user username command to unlock the account.
Note For RADIUS users, the attempt limit feature is enforced only after the RADIUS user’s first successful login to the sensor.
Examples
The following example sets the attempt limit to 3 times.
sensor# configure terminal
sensor(config)# service authentication
sensor(config-aut)# attemptLimit 3

packet
To display or capture live traffic on an interface, use the packet command in EXEC mode. Use the display option to dump live traffic or a previously captured file output directly to the screen. Use the capture option to capture the libpcap output into a local file. There is only one local file storage location, subsequent capture requests overwrite the existing file. You can copy the local file off the machine using the copy command with the packet-file keyword. You can view the local file using the display packet-file option. Use the info option to display information about the local file, if any. Use the packet display iplog id [verbose] [expression expression] to display iplogs.
packet display interface-name [snaplen length] [count count] [verbose] [expression expression]
packet display packet-file [verbose] [expression expression]
packet display iplog id [verbose] [expression expression] vlan and
packet capture interface-name [snaplen length] [count count] [expression expression]
packet display file-info
Syntax Description
display |
Displays the packet on the screen. |
interface-name |
Interface name, interface type followed by slot/port. You are allowed to enter only a valid interface name existing in the system. |
snaplen |
(Optional) Specifies to use snapshot length. |
length |
(Optional) Snapshot length. The default is 0. A valid range is 0 to 1600. |
count |
(Optional) Specifies to capture packets. |
count |
(Optional) Number of packets to capture. If not specified, the capture terminates after the maximum file size has been captured. The valid range is 1 to 10000. |
verbose |
(Optional) Displays the protocol tree for each packet rather than a one-line summary. |
expression |
(Optional) Specifies to use an expression to filter the packet. |
expression |
(Optional) Packet capture filter expression. This expression is passed directly to tcpdump and must meet the tcpdump expression syntax. |
id |
Existing IP log ID to display. |
file-info |
Displays information about the stored packet file. |
vlan and |
Matches packets with VLAN headers. |
Defaults
This command has no default behavior or values.
Command Modes
EXEC
Administrator, operator, viewer (display only)
Command History
|
|
5.0(1) |
This command was introduced. |
Usage Guidelines
Storage is available for one local file. The size of this file varies depending on the platform. If possible, a message is displayed if the maximum file size is reached before the requested packet count is captured. Only one user can use the packet capture interface-name command at a time. A second user request results in an error message containing information about the user executing the capture. A configuration change involving the interface can result in abnormal termination of any packet command running on that interface.
Note This command is IPS-specific. There is no related IOS command in version 12.0 or earlier.
Caution Executing this command causes significant performance degradation.
Note If you use the expression option when monitoring packets with VLAN headers, the expression does not match properly unless vlan and is added to the beginning of the expression. For example, packet display iplog 926299444 verbose expression icmp Will NOT show ICMP packets; packet display iplog 926299444 verbose expression vlan and icmp WILL show ICMP packets. It is often necessary to use expression vlan and on the ASA 5500 AIP SSC-5, IDSM2, and IPS appliance interfaces connected to trunk ports.
Press Ctrl-C to terminate the live display or file capture.
The expression syntax is described in the ethereal-filter man page.
The file-info displays:
Captured by: user:id, Cmd: cliCmd
Start: yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss zone, End: yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss zone or in-progress
Where
user = Username of user initiating capture,
id = User’s CLI ID,
cliCmd = Command entered to perform the capture.
Examples
The following example displays the live traffic occurring on FastEthernet 0/0:
sensor# packet display fastethernet0/0
Warning This command will cause significant performance degradation.

You receive an error if you try to disable the last administrator account. Use the password command to reenable a disabled user account and reset the user password.
The password is protected in IPS.
Note The Cisco IOS 12.0 password command lets you enter the new password in the clear on the password line.
Examples
The following example shows how to modify the current user’s password:
Enter Old Login Password: **********
Enter New Login Password: ******
Re-enter New Login Password: ******
The following example modifies the password for the user tester
. Only administrators can execute this command:
sensor(config)# password tester
Enter New Login Password: ******
Re-enter New Login Password: ******

Usage Guidelines
The sensor automatically calls the setup command when you connect to the sensor using a console cable and the sensor basic network settings have not yet been configured. The sensor does not call auto setup under the following conditions:
- When initialization has already been successfully completed.
- If you have recovered or downgraded the sensor.
- If you have set the host configuration to default after successfully configuring the sensor using the auto setup.
When you enter the setup command, an interactive dialog called the System Configuration Dialog appears on the system console screen. The System Configuration Dialog guides you through the configuration process.
The values shown in brackets next to each prompt are the default values last set.
You must run through the entire System Configuration Dialog until you come to the item that you want to change. To accept default settings for items that you do not want to change, press Enter .
To return to the EXEC prompt without making changes and without running through the entire System Configuration Dialog, press Ctrl-C.
The facility also provides help text for each prompt. To access help text, enter the question mark (?) at a prompt.
When you complete your changes, the configuration that was created during the setup session appears. You are prompted to save this configuration. If you enter yes , the configuration is saved to disk. If you enter no , the configuration is not saved and the process begins again. There is no default for this prompt; you must enter either yes or no .
Valid ranges for configurable parameters are as follows:
IP Address/Netmask/Gateway: X.X.X.X/nn,Y.Y.Y.Y , where
X.X.X.X specifies the sensor IP address as a 32-bit address written as four octets separated by periods where X = 0-255.
nn specifies the number of bits in the netmask.
Y.Y.Y.Y specifies the default gateway as a 32-bit address written as four octets separated by periods where Y = 0-255.
Host Name: Case sensitive character string, up to 256 characters. Numbers, “_” and “-” are valid, spaces are not accepted.
Enter the clock settings in setup mode only if the system is not using NTP. NTP commands are provided separately.
You can configure daylight savings time either in recurring mode or date mode. If you select recurring mode, the start and end days are entered based on week, day, month, and time. If you select date mode, the start and end days are entered based on month, day, year, and time. Selecting disable turns off daylight savings time.
Table 2-1 shows the clock setting parameters.
Table 2-1 Clock Setting Parameters

You can also edit the default virtual sensor, vs0. You can assign promiscuous, inline pairs, and/or inline VLAN pairs to the virtual sensor, which in turn enables the assigned interfaces. After setup is complete, the virtual sensor is configured to monitor traffic.
While in setup, you can enable/disable the overrides rule associated with the deny-packet-inline action. You can modify all instances of event action rules configuration that are assigned to a virtual sensor. Event action rules configuration instances that are not assigned to a virtual sensor are not changed.

The exact format of the destination URL varies according to the file. You can select a filename, but it must be terminated by .html. The following valid types are supported:
|
|
ftp: |
Destination URL for the FTP network server. The syntax for this prefix is: ftp://[[username@]location][/relativeDirectory]/filename ftp://[[username@]location][//absoluteDirectory]/filename |
scp: |
Destination URL for the SCP network server. The syntax for this prefix is: scp://[[username@]location][/relativeDirectory]/filename scp://[[username@]location][//absoluteDirectory]/filename |
The report contains HTML-linked output from the following commands:
- show interfaces
- show statistics network-access
- cidDump
Varlog Files
The /var/log/messages file has the latest logs. A new softlink called varlog has been created under the /usr/cids/idsRoot/log folder that points to the /var/log/messages file. Old logs are stored in varlog.1 and varlog.2 files. The maximum size of these varlog files is 200 KB. Once they cross the size limit the content is rotated. The content of varlog, varlog.1, and varlog.2 is displayed in the output of the show tech-support command. The log messages (/usr/cids/idsRoot/varlog files) persist only across sensor reboots. The old logs are lost during software upgrades.
Examples
The following example places the tech support output into the file ~csidsuser/reports/sensor1Report.html
. The path is relative to csidsuser’s home account:
sensor#
show tech-support destination-url ftp://csidsuser@10.2.1.2/reports/sensor1Report.html
The following example places the tech support output into the file /absolute/reports/sensor1Report.html
:
