Cisco Cisco Email Security Appliance C160 Mode D'Emploi

In the next portion of the 

systemsetup

 command, you enable the web interface for the appliance (for the 

Management Ethernet interface). You can also choose to run the web interface over secure HTTP 
(

https

). If you choose to use HTTPS, the system will use a demonstration certificate until you upload 

your own certificate. For more information, see 

Next, you 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 your own DNS servers. 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 as many DNS servers as you need (each 
server will have a priority of 0.). By default, 

systemsetup

 prompts you to enter the addresses for your 

own DNS servers. 

A “listener” manages inbound email processing services that will be configured on a particular IP 
interface. Listeners only apply to email entering the Email Security appliance — either from your 
internal systems or from the Internet. Cisco AsyncOS uses listeners to specify criteria that messages 
must meet in order to be accepted and relayed to recipient hosts. You can think of a listener as an email 
listener (or even a “SMTP daemon”) running for IP addresses you specified above. 

For C370, C670, X1070, C380, C680, C390, and C690 appliances: By default, the 

systemsetup

 

command configures two listeners — one public and one private. (For more information on the types of 
listeners available, see 

For C170 and C190 appliances: By default, the 

systemsetup

 command configures one public listener 

for both receiving mail from the Internet and for relaying email from your internal network. See 

. 

When you define a listener, you specify the following attributes: 

A name (nickname) created by you to refer to the listener later. For example, the listener that accepts 
email from your internal systems to be delivered to the Internet may be called OutboundMail.

One of the IP interfaces (that you created earlier in the 

systemsetup

 command) on which to receive 

email.

The name of the machine(s) to which you want to route email (public listeners only). (This is the 
first 

smtproutes

 entry. See 

.)

Whether or not to enable filtering based on SenderBase Reputation Scores (SBRS) for public 
listeners. If enabled, you are also prompted to select between Conservative, Moderate, or Aggressive 
settings.

Rate-limiting per host: the maximum number of recipients per hour you are willing to receive from 
a remote host (public listeners only).

The recipient domains or specific addresses you want to accept email for (public listeners) or the 
systems allowed to relay email through the appliance (private listeners). (These are the first 
Recipient Access Table and Host Access Table entries for a listener. See 

 for more 

information.)
