RE: Dragon IDS & Enterasys Equipment

["M Shirk" <shirkdog_linux () hotmail com>]

Enterasys will soon be releasing its Secure Network offering (this may or 
may not be the correct name). Dragon is simply the IDS part which will work 
the same with new features (more network interfaces are supported, this will 
be version 7.0 of Dragon). The Secure network will use Enterasys Switches 
with the Dragon IDS to basically build FIREBREAKS on the network. There is a 
separate correlation database to report to, but basically its is a glorified 
IPS solution. It is a product that would require a change to an entire 
infrastructure, not just stuff in your DMZ.

My vendor has stated that with the Dragon IDS system it could automatically 
disable ports on my E7 & N7 (Switches) Enterasys equipment automatically to 
stop a client in its tracks. Has anyone ever used the Dragon IDS with 
Enterasys switches? Is it really out of the box like that? Any info would be 
appreciated. Thank you
