Sending Duplicate Alerts
You can specify the initial number of seconds to wait before AsyncOS will send a duplicate alert. If you
set this value to 0, duplicate alert summaries are not sent and instead, all duplicate alerts are sent without
any delay (this can lead to a large amount of email over a short amount of time). The number of seconds
to wait between sending duplicate alerts (alert interval) is increased after each alert is sent. The increase
is the number of seconds to wait plus twice the last interval. So a 5 second wait would have alerts sent
at 5 seconds, 15, seconds, 35 seconds, 75 seconds, 155 seconds, 315 seconds, etc.

Eventually, the interval could become quite large. You can set a cap on the number of seconds to wait
between intervals via the maximum number of seconds to wait before sending a duplicate alert field. For
example, if you set the initial value to 5 seconds, and the maximum value to 60 seconds, alerts would be
sent at 5 seconds, 15 seconds, 35 seconds, 60 seconds, 120 seconds, etc.

AutoSupport
To allow Cisco to better support and design future system changes, the Cisco IronPort appliance can be
configured to send Cisco Systems a copy of all alert messages generated by the system. This feature,
called AutoSupport, is a useful way to allow our team to be proactive in supporting your needs.
AutoSupport also sends weekly reports noting the uptime of the system, the output of the

AutoSupport also sends weekly reports noting the uptime of the system, the output of the

By default, alert recipients set to receive Information severity level alerts for System alert types will
receive a copy of every message sent to Cisco. This can be disabled if you do not want to send the weekly
alert messages internally. To enable or disable this feature, see
