Plan the installation within your network

The Cisco IronPort 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 sys-
tem (AsyncOS), and supporting services to centralize and consolidate 
important policy and runtime data. The M-Series appliance is designed 
to sit within your inner DMZ and receive quarantined spam from Cisco 
IronPort C- and X-Series appliances in your outer DMZ. Internal users 
access the M-Series appliance to view and manage messages in their 
quarantines.
