Description

This article provides information on how to detect the IPS/IDP license installed on the device in Junos Space.

Solution

Junos Space does not synchronize the IPS/IDP licenses on devices automatically if the licenses are added after device-discovery.

To detect an IPS/IDP license installed on a device in Junos Space, perform the procedure below.

1. Log into the Junos Space Web UI, then switch to Security Director > Downloads > Signature Database > Install Configuration .

2. On the Space Web UI, perform a Full Probe or Delta Probe .

  • A Delta Probe scans only for missing devices.

  • A Full Probe scans for all the devices managed by Junos Space.

3. After the Probe is completed, the devices are listed. If a device is listed, it has an IPS license.

4. Install the IPS signature on the device. You can now Publish the policy without receiving the Warning message.
