1 Welcome
Thank you for choosing the Cisco C170 Email Security
Appliance (Cisco C170).
The Cisco C170 appliance is designed to serve as your SMTP
email gateway at your network perimeter—that is, the first
appliance with an IP address that is directly accessible to the
Internet for sending and receiving email. Many of the features
(including reputation filtering, data loss prevention, content
scanning, spam detection, and virus protection) require you to
install the Cisco appliance into your existing network
infrastructure.
This guide describes how to physically install your Cisco C170
appliance and use the System Setup Wizard to configure basic
settings.

and other threats, the Cisco C170 appliance must be installed at
the perimeter of your network. It needs to be the first appliance
with an IP address that can access the Internet.
Plan for your network configuration to look something like this:

8 Connect to the Appliance
The Cisco C170 appliance has two gigabit network ports:
P1 and P2. At least one static IP address is required to send and
receive email.
You can receive and deliver email from a single connection to
either network port if your network topology dictates it. Two IP
addresses can be configured on one network interface.
Or, you can connect the P1 network port to your public network
and connect the P2 network port to your private network.
To access the appliance by Ethernet, connect to P1 as your
management interface and configure incoming email on P2.
Or, for serial access to the appliance, connect to the console
port.
