Does network ips affect nework performance?

[alhaawi]

hello all

we have HIPS 8.0 installed in our server with ips enbaled and network ips is disabled!

what is the differince between the two? if i enable the network ips, does it affect our network? becuase some one said it may affect the nework performance if we enable the network ips part because it will work in the Promiscuous mode.

thanks

IMO, probably not. I guess one way you could test, is run a performance test before and after you enable/disable network ips.
