Cisco 2610 Router & IDS

Does anyone know much about enabling IDS on a 2600 router? Specifically, do you need an add-on module to utilize IDS or is it just enabled based on the IOS feature set?

I know that on the 2500 series enabling IPX was strictly about the IOS version you installed; you could buy an IP only, IPX only, or an IP and IPX enabled version of IOS - and the hardware didn't matter. Is it the same with IDS on a 2610 router, or do you need to buy an add-on module as well?

Thanks.

In order to enable IDS on an IOS router, you must have the IOS firewall feature set. One thing you must consider is if your 2610 will even support the feature set.
