Руководство Пользователя для Cisco Cisco Content Security Management Appliance M160

 shows a typical network configuration incorporating the Security Management appliance and 

multiple DMZs. You deploy the Security Management appliance outside your DMZ, in your internal 
networks. All connections are initiated by the Security Management appliances (M-Series) to the 
managed Email Security appliances (C-Series) and managed Web Security appliances (S-Series). 

Corporate data centers can share a Security Management appliance to perform centralized reporting and 
message tracking for multiple Web and Email Security appliances, and centralized policy configuration 
for multiple Web Security appliances. The Security Management appliance can also be used as an 
external spam quarantine. 

After you connect the Email Security appliance and the Web Security appliances to a Security 
Management appliance and properly configure all appliances, AsyncOS gathers and aggregates data 
from the managed appliances. From the aggregated data, reports can be generated and an overall view 
of email and web usage can be determined.

Additional information about integrating the Security Management appliance with your Email Security 
appliances, see the “Centralizing Services on a Cisco Content Security Management Appliance” chapter 
in the user documentation or online help for your Email Security appliance. 

The Security Management appliance cannot be placed in a cluster of Email Security appliances that are 
using the email appliances’ centralized management feature. However, clustered Email Security 
appliances can deliver messages to the Security Management appliance for centralized reporting and 
tracking and to quarantine messages.
