Cisco IDS 4250 Sensor Improves Performance of Cisco IT IDS
Overview The Cisco network and data center backbones are composed of very high speed connections, mostly Gigabit Ethernet. Internet access is high speed, as well. Cisco IT has 4 155 Mbps OC-3s to handle Internet access in San Jose. Both the data centers and the Internet access points required an intrusion detection network sensor that could handle more than 150 to 250 Mbps throughput. In 2001 there were no credible high-speed intrusion detection devices, so the Infosec team selected the Cisco IDS 4230 Sensor, with a performance ceiling limited by its 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet interface.
