Configuring DNS and Default Gateway
Type the IP address of the default router (gateway) on your network. You can use an IPv4 address, an
IPv6 address, or both.
IPv6 address, or both.
Next, configure the DNS (Domain Name Service) settings. Cisco AsyncOS contains a high-performance
internal DNS resolver/cache that can query the Internet’s root servers directly, or the system can use
DNS servers you specify. If you choose to use your own servers, you will need to supply the IP address
and hostname of each DNS server. You can enter up to four DNS servers via the System Setup Wizard.
Please note that DNS servers you enter will have an initial priority of 0. For more information, see

Note
The appliance requires access to a working DNS server in order to perform DNS lookups for incoming
connections. If you cannot specify a working DNS server that is reachable by the appliance while you
are setting up the appliance, a workaround is to either select “Use Internet Root DNS Servers” or to
specify, temporarily, the IP address of the Management interface so that you can complete the System
Setup Wizard.

Configuring Network Interfaces
Your Email Security appliance has network interfaces that are associated with the physical ports on the
machine. For example, on C660/670, C360/370, and X1060/1070 appliances, three physical Ethernet
interfaces are available. On C160/170 appliances, two physical Ethernet interfaces are available.

interfaces are available. On C160/170 appliances, two physical Ethernet interfaces are available.
To use an interface, mark the “Enable” checkbox and then specify an IP address, network mask, and fully
qualified hostname. The IP address you enter should be the address intended for your inbound mail as
reflected in your DNS records. Typically this address would have an MX record associated with it in
DNS. You can use an IPv4 address, an IPv6 address, or both. If you use both, the interface will accept
both types of connections.
