Copy IPS profile

[Silvia_Day]

We have several firewalls in use. All of them are located at different locations in
Europe and have their own management server. We need to make the IPS rules the same on all systems.
Is there any way to do this?

On the Management Server:

This command lets you copy profile configurations from a Security Management Server to a file.

# ips_export_import export <Existing_IPS_profile_name> -o <filename_ips_profile>

This command lets you copy a file to a Security Management.

# ips_export_import import <New_IPS_profile_name> -f <filename_ips_profile>.tar

Attention:
Export/import are supported only on identical versions.

I'm testing it now

It is also important that the versions of the IPS signatures are the same.
