Configuring IPS Inline VLAN Pair Mode

Based on Figure 20-11, Example 20-1 shows a basic configuration example that enables an inline VLAN pair mode on the sensor appliance. The inline VLAN pair is assigned to the default virtual sensor vs0. IPS interface GigabitEthernet2/0 connected to Switchport FastEthernet0/5 is being used for sensing in this example. The sensor performs VLAN bridging between pairs of VLANs on the trunk port. Traffic incoming to the sensor on VLAN 10 is inspected and sent out with VLAN TAG of VLAN 20 on the same physical interface (hair-pinning).

Figure 20-11. IPS Inline VLAN Pair Mode


The sample configuration also shows some basic IPS initializing parameters such as configuring the hostname, IP address, default gateway, and access list to allow trusted hosts.

Based on Figure 20-11, Example 20-2 shows the basic Switch Trunk port configuration that completes the inline VLAN pair setup, allowing VLAN 10 and VLAN 20 accordingly.

end

Example 20-3 shows a sample output from the IPS sensor appliance to verify interface configuration. Note that the interface function is "sensing" and the Inline mode is an inline-vlan-pair, which indicates that this is an inline VLAN pair mode setup.
