Cisco Cisco Email Security Appliance C160 Mode D'Emploi

Contact Cisco IronPort Customer support to obtain the static URL address.

Create a firewall rule to allow downloading of upgrades from the static IP address on port 80.

Navigate to the Security Services > Service Updates page, and click Edit Update Settings.

On the Edit Update Settings page, in the “Update Servers (images)” section, choose Local Update 
Servers and enter the static URL received in step 

 in the Base URL field for AsyncOS upgrades and 

McAfee Anti-Virus definitions.

Verify that IronPort Update Servers is selected for the “Update Servers (list)” section.

Submit and commit your changes.

You can also download AsyncOS upgrade images to a local server and host upgrades from within your 
own network rather than obtaining upgrades directly from Cisco IronPort’s update servers. Using this 
feature, an upgrade image is downloaded via HTTP to any server in your network that has access to the 
Internet. If you choose to download the update image, you can then configure an internal HTTP server 
(an “update manager”) to host the AsyncOS images to your Cisco IronPort appliances.

Configure a local server to retrieve and serve the upgrade files.

Download the upgrade files.

Configure the appliance to use the local server using either the Security Services > Service Updates page 
in the GUI or the 

updateconfig

 command in the CLI.

Upgrade the appliance using either the System Administration > System Upgrade page or the 

upgrade

 

command in the CLI.

For downloading AsyncOS upgrade files, you must have a system in your internal network that has:

Your IronPort Appliances

IronPort Systems 

Update Servers

HTTP connection to Internet through firewall

Web Server with HTTP access

to Internet

local HTTP connections
