Configuring IDS/IPS

To begin using an IDS/IPS signature subscription, you must first register it on

the My ProCurve portal (https://my.procurve.com). You can register the IDS/

IPS signature subscription at any time. The registration process does not

require you to install a subscription license key or to disrupt the service of the

TMS zl Module by rebooting it.

If you want to register the IDS/IPS signature subscription after you have
