Ron,
Regarding the MIBs, yeah we suggest folks use ours. If we waited for someone else to
get them done this product wouldn't have been shipping for the past 2 years.
While the NR Director doesn't support "Scripting" per se it does allow the admin to
tune the systems so as to isolate false positives. And we recently announced several
additional vendors supporting the Director's log and reporting functions, so if you
don't like our stuff you can use someone elses software console.
The technically interesting part is the inclusion of IDS sensor technology in a
Catalyst blade, several IOS trains and soon PIX firewall builds. So now you can have
a dedicated sensor, sensor in a router, sensor in a switch, or sensor in a firewall.
Gee whiz, you can have a sensor just about anywhere you need it!
With third party software integration we hope to soon be able to bridge our network
data with host based solutions.
Regards,
Brian
