What I do, (Prior compiling of course is retire all the signatures) 

IP ips signature category
Category all 
 enable false 
 retire true 

-------->
Compile the signautres

IP ips signature category 
 category ios_ips  basic 
  enable true 
  retired false 

 If I dont remember wrong, on the old IPS exam it explained that you needed to 
do that process in order to avoid the router to become unresponsive.

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
