I dont have access to an IOS router to confirm... but I think retired
true/false commands only appear in signature-category, however retired t/f
and enable t/f both appear in signature definition. hope that helps...

Retire/Unretire signatures
Retire/unretire is to select/de-select which signatures are being used by
IOS IPS to scan traffic.
Retiring a signature means IOS IPS will NOT compile that signature into
memory for scanning.
Unretiring a signature instructs IOS IPS to compile the signature into
memory and use the signature to scan traffic.

Enable/Disable signatures
Enable/disable is to enforce/disregard the action(s) associated with the
signatures by IOS IPS when packet or packet flow matches the signatures.

*Note:* Enable/disable does NOT select/de-select signatures to be used by
IOS IPS.
Enabling a signature means that when triggered by a matching packet (or
packet flow), the signature takes the appropriate action associated with it.
However, only unretired AND successfully compiled signatures will take the
action when they are enabled. In other words, if a signature is retired,
even though it is enabled, it will not be compiled (because it is retired)
and it will not take the action associated with it.
Disabling a signature means that when triggered by a matching packet (or
packet flow), the signature DOES NOT take the appropriate action associated
with it. In other words, when a signature is disabled, even though it is
unretired and successfully compiled, it will not take the action associated
with it.
