What command should be used to verify the configuration of enable_appsignatures for IPS?

The command to verify the configuration of enable_appsignatures for Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) is "ips-settings." This command is specifically designed to allow users to view and verify various settings related to the IPS configuration. When you execute this command, it provides detailed information about the current IPS settings, including whether application signatures are enabled or not, which is critical for effective detection of threats based on application signatures.

Using this command ensures that administrators can quickly assess the status of the IPS features and make adjustments as necessary to enhance the security posture of the network. It is an essential command for maintaining proper IPS functionality within Sophos XG Firewall.

The other options do not provide the specific checks related to the configuration of application signatures within the IPS. They either offer a general view of the IPS status or involve commands that wouldn't detail the specific configuration parameter in question.
