1 Welcome

Thank you for choosing the Cisco M170 Content Security

Management Appliance (Cisco M170).

The Content Security Management appliance centralizes and

consolidates important policy and runtime data, providing

administrators and end-users with a single interface for

managing their email and web security systems. It ensures top

performance from Cisco C-Series and S-Series appliances, and

protects corporate network integrity by increasing deployment

flexibility.

The Content Security Management appliance provides the

central platform for managing all reporting and auditing

information for Cisco Email and Web Security appliances.

Optional management features allow you to coordinate all your

security operations from a single Content Security Management

appliance or to spread the load across multiple appliances.

This guide describes how to physically install the Cisco M170

appliance and use the System Setup Wizard to configure basic

settings.

4 Plan the Installation

The Cisco M170 Content 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.

The Cisco M170 appliance is designed to sit within your inner

DMZ and receive quarantined spam from Cisco C-Series and

S-Series appliances in your outer DMZ. Internal users access the

Content Security Management appliance to view and manage

messages in their quarantines.

Plan for your network configuration to look something like this:
