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?

    That's basically correct.

    You still want the IPS protecting your internal web-surfing users from malicious web content, emails, etc.
    Even if you use the http and smtp anti-virus, it's good to have another layer of protection.
