Signature Categories
Cisco IPS appliances and Cisco IOS IPS with Cisco 5.x format signatures operate with signature
categories.All signatures are pregrouped into categories; the categories are hierarchical. An individual signature
can belong to more than one category. Top-level categories help to define general types of
signatures.
Subcategories exist beneath each top-level signature category. (For a list of supported top-level
categories, use your router CLI help (?).)
Router Configuration Files and Signature Event Action Processor (SEAP)
As of Cisco IOS Release 12.4(11)T, SDFs are no longer used by Cisco IOS IPS. Instead, routers access
signature definition information through a directory that contains three configuration files–the
default configuration, the delta configuration, and the SEAP configuration. Cisco IOS accesses this
directory through the ip ips config location command.
