IPS Not Working (UTM 9)

snowhite
Has anyone experienced any issues with IPS on UTM 9? 

It looks like it is configured correctly and listening on my internal LAN, yet IPS never caught a single entry… even simulating i.e ping -s 666 and IDSwakeup etc do not yield any response/acknowledgment/ IPS log entry. 

The only IPS log entries are:

Am I missing anything?

    Thanks Bob,

    Good point but I hope not :|   Intel/Broadcom NIC's (afaik). 

    I toggled IPS off/on and rebooted the UTM 9 appliance (not sure if that helped) and re-run GRC/nmap and this time I was finally able to pickup:

    ulogd[4241]: id="2102" severity="info" sys="SecureNet" sub="ips" name="portscan detected" action="portscan" fwrule="60017" initf="eth1" .....

    Woohoo!!! [H]

    However my other IPS tests (IDSwakeup/metasploint etc) still yield no response. The portscan rule/detection is part of snort right? So the above should mean that snort is running successfully?

    I've saved my settings, reverted to the baseline firmware, re-applied my settings and rebooted the appliance and it seems to be working now. Strange.[8-)]
