Configuring the CSC SSM for Content Security
If you ordered your adaptive security appliance with the optional CSC SSM
module, there are several steps you need to perform to complete the initial
configuration. Some configuration steps are performed on the adaptive security
appliance, and some steps are performed in the software running on the CSC
SSM.
If you followed the procedures in earlier chapters of this document, at this point
you have an adaptive security appliance system running with licensed software,
and you have entered basic system values using the Startup Wizard. Your next
steps are to configure the adaptive security appliance for a content security
deployment.
The basic steps are as follows:
1.
Obtain software activation key from Cisco.com.
2.
Gather the information you need to configure the CSC SSM.
3.
Using ASDM, verify time settings.
4.
In ASDM, run the CSC setup wizard to configure the CSC SSM.
5.
Using ASDM, configure the adaptive security appliance to divert traffic to the
CSC SSM for scanning.
These steps are described in detail in the sections that follow.
