IDS Best Practice

Hi guys,

 

Since it's possible to enable some IDS functionality in IOS on a perimeter
router, is there any rule of thumb or BEST Practice on the issue of what IDS
functionality should be implemented on a router versus on the IDS itself?

 

Obviously, if you have both a router and an IDS, all IDS can be implemented
on the IDS itself but I'm wondering if there would be any benefit to
enabling

 

a few signatures - perhaps those that block DOS attacks - on the router.

 

Also, when IDS is enabled on a router interface that also has an inbound
acl, which processing takes place first? The IDS or acl?

 

Any guidance or insight would be greatly appreciated.

 

TIA, Tim
