IPS 4240 cabling question John Smith 11-16-05

Currently i have a 4240 (5.0.x)appliance installed, but in IDS mode, not
IPS. If i want to change it to inline/IPS mode, how are the cables
physically connected?
From one interface to the router, and the other to the firewall? directly
connected? x-over cable?
Aside from the cabling, is everything else (software wise) configured the
same way?


TIA

Should sit inline between your internet connection and firewall. One thing
to note is and I fell into the trap, when you put it into IPS mode you end
up losing one of the interfaces for management so you need at least 3
interfaces.
