For IPS/IDS rules loaded from external sources, a separate area of volatile memory is allocated on 
ESR routers.
The size of this area depends on the ESR model:
ESR-1X – 25 MB;
ESR-2X – 50 MB.
For all other models - 100 MB.
If you configure too many rule sources or load rules that exceed the specified limits, the router will 
generate error messages: %STORAGE_IPS_MGR-I-ERR: There is no free space in rules directory 
error.
