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:
Internet

Internal Users
Cisco IronPort C-Series

Inner DMZ
Cisco IronPort S-Series
Cisco IronPort M-Series
