RE: Port Speed setting in Cisco IDS 4235

["Gary Halleen (ghalleen)" <ghalleen () cisco com>]

Changing the port speed/duplex settings is not currently supported on the
sensors.  You should first check and make sure the speed/duplex is not
hard-configured on the switch.  It should be set to AUTO, and in nearly all
cases, this allows the sensor to set to the best setting automatically.

That said, it is possible to change the settings manually, and this is
something TAC can assist with if the first option doesn't work.  Send me a
private e-mail if you'd like and I'll elaborate.

Subject: Port Speed setting in Cisco IDS 4235



Hi all,

I am trying to setup a Cisco IDS Appliance 4235 which typically has
10/100/1000 Mb port  used for monitoring. The switch to which this port is
connected does not support 1000 Mbps, so there is continous flapping on the
switch port where the IDS is connected. Hence i am trying to fix the port
speed on the IDS box but unable to do so since there is no option provided
in the confiuration menus of the IDS or VMS.

Could someone please help me out with how to configure the port speed / mode
on the sniffing interface of the Cisco IDS appliance 4235......

Thanks in Advance,

Regards,

Sunil D.
