Hi,

Does anyone know how to get this working using vmware ESX ?
Main problem seems to be that ESX doesn't support IDE harddisks...... (vitual)

I don't know how i can get the IPS to boot from the SCSI drive ......
Any help would be greatly appriciated.....

Regards,
JC

I have the 5.1 IPS in a VM running correctly and can login and configure it. However, when I try to upgrade to version 6.0 by using a PKG file from Cisco it loads but states unsupported hardware. Does anyone have a workaround for version 6 of IPS on vmware ?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I am trying to create a lab at home and I have all the equipment with the exception of vmware ips so for that I am using vmware but I was wondering how that vmware will interact with the actual device like asa, router and switches? am I should be doing inline vlan pairing or inline interface pairing?

Can somebody please answer it?

Thanks

Hello Everybody ,,

I'm trying to emulate IPS in Win XP ,, I reach up to login & changing the password. My problem is every time
the VMWare keep change the below lines in VMX file:
ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000"
ethernet1.virtualDev = "e1000"
ethernet2.virtualDev = "e1000"

Change to

ethernet0.virtualDev = "vlance"
ethernet1.virtualDev = "vlance"
ethernet2.virtualDev = "vlance"

This end my to not be able to recognize the Interfaces .... Please HELP ..
My best wishes to all effort ....

Hi All

All the guys who had a problem after login (mainApp error)
try image 5.1.4 (you will find it on the internet:)

I had the same problems with 5.1.6-E1 but after creating new vm and booting from 5.1.4 sensor runs smoothly.

Regards

I have followed to the letter the instructions but seem to be missing one of my Gig interfaces? I've gone through everything a hundred times but can't figure out what is going wrong! I had hoped to setup inline but not sure now that I only have one sensing interface?
Using VMware server console 1.0.8 on a Windows XP system with IPS image IPS-K9-cd-1.1-a-5.1-4.iso.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I'm at a total loss! javascript:emoticon(' Sad

Information about JAVA and IDM.
I wasted a lot of time because of this.
When I newly installed jre-6.13, IDM didn't work. After I downgrade to jre-6.7, IDM worked fine.

Hi all,

I was getting this error as well and could not seem to get rid of it, I ran it on Windows and Linux and it did not work on either. I checked the PCI Device ids and such, as well as changed them to match what the OS was showing them with no luck.

I was using VMWare workstation 6.5, when I moved to 5.5 and ran the install and config again it worked fine. So there must be some difference between running the VM's on the older 5.x and 6.x versions. Once I had it running I tared and and took it home to see if it worked there and got the same exact mainapp error. Seeing as the only thing to change was the CPU speed I edited the ids_functions and entered the new processor speed and the error went away. So I am guessing that error is a generic error that occurs when anything is not right. I never found out what was wrong on the 6.5 VMware, so if someone finds that I would be interested to get it to run there, the 5.5 is a bit buggy with the latest GNome interface, specifically browse does not work.

Anyway, if you are able to use 5.X try that and see if the issue goes away. Just and FYI, I only ran this on Linux, I did not try install 5.5 on windows.

Anyone get 6.1 to run yet?

Your prob lem seems to be in this portion :

ethernet0.virtualDev = "vlance"
ethernet1.virtualDev = "vlance"
ethernet2.virtualDev = "vlance"

Replace it by -

ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000"
ethernet1.virtualDev = "e1000"
ethernet2.virtualDev = "e1000"

- Sometimes it get changed automatically. Change it - Save it - Run VMWare again.

You have to make sure you switch off you vmware completely before u do the change, and then restart again

I have this working with 5.1.4 on Windows XP vmware 6.5, thanks very much for the how-to

I upgraded it the IDS to 6.0.5E3, but the E1000 driver segfaults

I found this which suggests these guys are at the same stalemate:

http://translate.google.com.au/translate?hl=en&sl=zh-CN&u=http://www.netemu.cn/bbs/archiver/tid-11071.html&ei=EdcDSoWSEqGctgPLu9TrAQ&sa=X&oi=translate&resnum=1&ct=result&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dids%2Bsegmentation%2Bfault%2BE1000_MODULE%26hl%3Den%26rlz%3D1T4GGLL_enAU318AU319%26sa%3DX

Anyone would have any idea hwo to get around this? Maybe change the cids startup scripts to use a different driver?
