Release Notes for Cisco Security Manager 4.0

OL-21744-02

Caveats

Manager so that the next deployment will correctly provision these commands. You can also

rediscover the platform settings from the device; however, you will need to take necessary steps to

save and restore any shared Security Manager policies that are assigned to the device.

• A Cisco Services for IPS service license is required for the installation of signature updates on IPS

5.x+ appliances, Catalyst and ASA service modules, and router network modules.

• Do not connect to the database directly, because doing so can cause performance reductions and

unexpected system behavior.

• Do not run SQL queries against the database.

• If an online help page displays blank in your browser view, refresh the browser.

• Cisco Secure ACS 5.0 is not supported by Security Manager 4.0, even though ACS 5.0 is supported

by Common Services 3.3.

• If you do not manage IPS devices, consider taking the following performance tuning step. In

$NMSROOT\MDC\ips\etc\sensorupdate.properties, change the value of packageMonitorInterval

from its initial default value of 30,000 milliseconds to a less-frequent value of 600,000 milliseconds.

Taking this step will improve performance somewhat. [$NMSROOT is the full pathname of the

Common Services installation directory (the default is C:\Program Files\CSCOpx).]
