Руководство Пользователя для Cisco Cisco Email Security Appliance C170

The Cisco IronPort M-Series appliance is a special model of the Cisco IronPort appliances, specifically 
designed to serve as an external or “off box” spam quarantine for use with other Cisco IronPort 
appliances. This chapter discusses network planning, system setup, and general use of the Cisco IronPort 
M-Series appliance.

You can use an Cisco IronPort M-Series Security Management appliance to complement your Cisco 
IronPort Email Security appliance. The Cisco IronPort M-Series Security Management appliance is 
designed to serve as an external or “off box” location to monitor corporate policy settings and audit 
information. It combines hardware, an operating system (AsyncOS), and supporting services to 
centralize and consolidate important policy and runtime data, providing administrators and end users 
with a single interface for managing reporting and auditing information for the Cisco IronPort C-Series 
and X-Series Email Security appliances. The Cisco IronPort M-Series appliance ensures top 
performance from Cisco IronPort Email Security appliances, and protects corporate network integrity by 
increasing deployment flexibility. You can coordinate your security operations from a single Cisco 
IronPort M-Series appliance, or spread the load across multiple appliances.

The AsyncOS for Security Management appliance includes the following features:

External Cisco IronPort Spam Quarantine. Hold spam and suspected spam messages for end users, 
and allow end users and administrators to review messages that are flagged as spam before making 
a final determination.

Centralized reporting. Run reports on aggregated data from multiple Email Security appliances.

Centralized tracking. Track email messages that traverse multiple Email Security appliances.

For information about configuring and using your Cisco IronPort Security Management appliance, see 
the Cisco IronPort AsyncOS for Security Management User Guide .
