  • 1.  XGS and GX IPS information

    Posted Thu January 09, 2020 08:38 AM
    Hey everyone 

    Can someone help me with the XGS and GX links, which explains the product architecture in general and help with the different functions?

    Also is there some resource where I can go and access the IPS GUI and navigate, please this is urgent.

    Thanks
    Mike

    Hi Mike.
    Here is the book called Network Intrusion Prevention Design Guide: Using IBM Security Network IPS, you can find it here:
    http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg247979.html?Open&pdfbookmark
    and there was a book called Implementation Guide for IBM Security Network Protection or XGS For Techies implementation guide,
    https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/security/library/se-xgs-techies-2/index.html
    Besides that, documentation for GX and XGS is available inside IBM Knowledge Center:
    https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter

    Best regards,
    Igor.

    Thanks a lot for your kind help, one question do you work on this  XGS or GX IPS, just in case if I need any help with any feature-specific.

    Igor,

    As Mike mentioned, the link for the second book is dead. He did provide a different link but that is for version 1.6 and I've seen references to a 2.0 available (published in 2016). Is that link available or anything newer for that matter? Thanks!
