How do I set the port ids in the backbox? I know the ids only cisco devices, I could use a nmap and zenmap, what is the function of both applications is that? Thank's before.

who said IDS is only cisco devices?
IDS is an appliance and not a device, it is an application for intrusion detection system and alerts when detects any anomalies.

you seem to have a big confusion about what you are asking.

And what is nmap has to do with IDS?

Pls clear up your mind and let us know when you have a proper question.
