Which statement about disabled signatures when using Cisco IOS IPS is true?
A.
They do not take any actions, but do produce alerts.
B.
They are not scanned or processed.
C.
They still consume router resources.
D.
They are considered to be “retired” signatures.
Explanation:
Disabled means that the signature does not produce an alert but is compiled into memory and
inspection takes place. There are advantages of having signatures disabled, such as allowing the
customer to quickly enable the signature without waiting for it to be loaded into memory and for
inspection to take place.
