Cisco Cisco Email Security Appliance C160 Mode D'Emploi

To successfully set up the Cisco IronPort appliance in your environment, you must gather important 
network information from your network administrator about how you would like to connect the Cisco 
IronPort appliance to your network.

During the initial setup, you can connect to the appliance in one of two ways:

Keep in mind that the initial connection method is not final. This process applies only for the initial 
configuration. You can change network settings at a later time to allow different connection methods. 
(See 

 for more information.) You can also create multiple user 

accounts with differing administrative privileges to access the appliance. (For more information, see 
“Adding Users” in the Cisco IronPort AsyncOS for Email Daily Management Guide.)

Most users take advantage of the two Data Ethernet ports on the Cisco IronPort appliance by connecting 
to two networks from the appliance:

The private network accepts and delivers messages to your internal systems.

The public network accepts and delivers messages to the Internet.

An Ethernet connection between a PC and the network and between the network 
and the Cisco IronPort Management port. The IPv4 address that has been assigned 
to the Management port by the factory is 

192.168.42.42

. This is the easiest way 

to connect if it works with your network configuration.

A serial communications connection between the PC and the Cisco IronPort Serial 
Console port. If you cannot use the Ethernet method, a straight serial-to-serial 
connection between the computer and the appliance will work until alternate 
network settings can be applied to the Management port. For pinout information, 
see 

. The communications settings for 

the serial port are:

Bits per second: 9600

Data bits: 8

Parity: None

Stop bits: 1

Flow control: Hardware
