Cisco Cisco Email Security Appliance C160 Mode D'Emploi

Cisco AsyncOS sends alert messages to a user via email if there is a system error that requires the user’s 
intervention. Add at least one email address that receives system alerts. Separate multiple addresses with 
commas. The email addresses that you enter initially receive all types of alerts at all levels, except for 
Directory Harvest Attack Prevention alerts. You can add more granularity to the alert configuration later 
using the 

alertconfig

 command in the CLI or the System Administration > Alerts page in the GUI. For 

more information, see 

The AutoSupport feature keeps the Cisco Customer Support team aware of issues with your appliance 
so that Cisco can provide industry-leading support to you. Answer “Yes” to send Cisco support alerts 
and weekly status updates. (For more information, see 

.)

Enter an address to which to send the default scheduled reports. You can leave this value blank and the 
reports will be archived on the appliance instead of sent via email.

Cisco AsyncOS allows you to use the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to synchronize time with other 
servers on your network or the Internet, or to manually set the system clock. You must also set the time 
zone on the appliance so that timestamps in message headers and log files are correct. You can also use 
the Cisco Systems time servers to synchronize the time on your appliance.

Choose the Continent, Country, and Timezone and whether to use NTP including the name of the NTP 
server to use.

Finally, the System Setup Wizard will ask you to 

commit

 the configuration changes you have made 

throughout the procedure. Answer “Yes” if you want to commit the changes.

When you have successfully completed the System Setup Wizard, the following message will appear and 
you will be presented with the command prompt:

The appliance is now ready to send email.

To test the Cisco AsyncOS configuration, you can use the 

mailconfig

 command immediately to send a 

test email containing the system configuration data you just created with the 

systemsetup

 command:

Congratulations! System setup is complete. For advanced configuration, please refer to 

the User Guide.
