Cisco Cisco Email Security Appliance C160 Mode D'Emploi

This chapter introduces the Cisco IronPort AsyncOS operating system and 
administration of the Cisco IronPort appliance through both the web-based 
Graphical User Interface (GUI) and Command Line Interface (CLI). Conventions 
for using each interface are described. This chapter also contains general-purpose 
CLI commands. This chapter contains the following sections: 

The graphical user interface (GUI) is the web-based alternative to the command 
line interface (CLI) for system monitoring and configuration. The GUI enables 
you to monitor the system using a simple web-based interface without having to 
learn the Cisco IronPort AsyncOS command syntax. 

The GUI contains most of the functionality you need to configure and monitor the 
system. However, not all CLI commands are available in the GUI; some features 
are only available through the CLI. Many of the tasks listed throughout this book 
demonstrate how to accomplish a task from the GUI (when possible) first, 
followed by the CLI commands to accomplish the same task.

In the following chapters, you will learn how to use the GUI to:

access the System Setup Wizard to perform the initial installation and 
configuration of the Cisco IronPort appliance.
