Intrusion Detection System Module (WS-X6381-IDS)
The Intrusion Detection System Module (IDSM) is part of the Cisco Secure
Intrusion Detection System (Cisco Secure IDS) and is managed by the Cisco

provides a graphical interface for the management of security across a distributed
network. The Intrusion Detection System Module performs network sensing,
which involves real-time monitoring of network packets: packet capture and
analysis.
