Subject: [OSL | CCIE_Security] IOS IPS Sig Category

Hi all

If we are asked to enable ios_basic_sigs, then first thing we need to retire 
all sigs and then enable the basic set. Now that can be in the following ways:


ip ips signature-category
  category all
   retired true
  category ios_ips basic
   retired false

ip ips signature-category
  category ios_ips
   retired true
  category ios_ips basic
   retired false


The "sh ip ips signature count" o/p shows that the retired sigs o/p are 
different for the two above configs. Yusuf has used the first one in his labs.


With regards
Kings
