Plan the installation within your network
Your Cisco IronPort Appliance is designed to serve as your SMTP
email gateway at your network perimeter – that is, the first machine
with an IP address that is directly accessible to the Internet for sending
and receiving email. Many of the features (including Email Security
Monitor, Reputation Filtering, Spam Detection, Virus Protection, and
Encryption) require you to install the Cisco IronPort appliance into your
existing network infrastructure in the following way.

Clients
Depending on your network configuration, your firewall may need
to be configured to allow access on the following ports.
SMTP and DNS services must have access to the Internet. For
other system functions, the following services may be required:
DNS: port 53
•
SMTP: port 25
•
HTTPS: port 443
•
HTTP: port 80
•
•
Telnet: port 23
•
SSH: port 22
LDAP: port 389 or 3268
•
NTP: port 123
•
LDAP over SSL: port 636
•
LDAP with SSL for Global Catalog queries: port 3269
•
•
FTP: port 21, data port TCP 1024 and higher
See the appendix "Firewall Information" in the Cisco IronPort AsyncOS
for Email Configuration Guide for more information.

Data
The Cisco IronPort Appliance requires at least one IP address to send
and receive email. Ideally, two IP addresses should be used:
•
Connect the Data 1 network port to your public network
•
Connect the Data 2 network port to your private network
Alternately, you can receive and deliver email from a single connection
to either network port, if your network topology dictates it. Multiple IP
addresses can be configured on one network interface.

Setup and Management
•
For access by Ethernet™, connect to the
Management Network
Port. Use a browser to access the web-based interface on the
default IP address 192.168.42.42. You can also access the
command line interface by SSH or terminal emulation software
on the same IP address. (The netmask is /24.)
•
Or, for Serial access, connect to the Serial Port. Access the command
line interface by a terminal emulator using 9600 bits, 8 bits, no parity,
1 stop bit (9600, 8, N, 1), flowcontrol = Hardware.
