The Cisco S190 appliance is typically installed as an additional layer in the network between clients and the Internet. Depending on how you deploy the appliance, you may or may not need a Layer 4 (L4) switch or a WCCP router to direct client traffic to the appliance.

Deployment options include:

• Transparent Proxy—Web proxy with an L4 switch

• Transparent Proxy—Web proxy with a WCCP router

• Explicit Forward Proxy—Connection to a network switch

• L4 Traffic Monitor—Ethernet tap (simplex or duplex)

–

Simplex Mode: Port T1 receives all outgoing traffic, and port T2 receives all incoming traffic.

–

Duplex Mode: Port T1 receives all incoming and outgoing traffic.

Power Up the Appliance

Power up the appliance by pressing the On/Off switch on the front panel of the Cisco S190. You must wait 10 minutes for the system to initialize each time you power up the system. After the machine powers up, a solid green light indicates that the appliance is operational.

Note If turned on quickly after connecting power to the appliance, the

appliance powers up, the fans spin and the LEDs turn on. Within 30-60 seconds, the fans stop and all LEDs turn off. The appliance powers on 31 seconds later. This behavior is by design to allow the system firmware and controller to synchronize.



Wait at least 10 minutes for the system to complete the power up sequence and the LEDs to turn green. If you turn the power off before the initialization is complete, the appliance will NOT reach an operational state and must be returned to Cisco.

4 Traffic

Monitor port 2

Traffic monitor port for Simplex Ethernet tap: One cable for all packets destined for the internet (T1), and one cable for all packets coming from the Internet (T2).

5 Remote

Power Cycle

The port that is used for Remote Power Cycle (RPC).

6 Console Indicates the console port that

directly connects a computer to the appliance.

7 Management

Item Port Description

Page 13

You can log in to the Cisco S190 appliance using one of two interfaces: the web-based interface or the command-line interface.

Web-Based Interface

Step 1 For web browser access via the Ethernet port (see the “Connect to the

Appliance” section on page 11), go to the Cisco S190 appliance

management interface by entering the following URL in a web browser:

http://192.168.42.42:8080

Step 2 Enter the following login information:

• Username: admin

• Password: ironport

Note The hostname parameter is assigned during system setup. Before you

can connect to the management interface using a hostname (http://hostname:8080), you must add the appliance hostname and IP address to your DNS server database.

Step 3 Click Login.

Command-Line Interface

Step 1 Access the command-line interface locally or remotely:

• To access the CLI locally, set up a terminal to connect to the serial

port using 9600 bits, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit (9600, 8, N, 1) and flow control set to Hardware. To physically connect the terminal, see the

“Connect to the Appliance” section on page 11).

• To access the CLI remotely, initiate an SSH session to the IP address

192.168.42.42.

Step 2 Log in as admin with the password ironport.

Page 14

Step 3 At the prompt, run the systemsetup command.

Run the System Setup Wizard

The System Setup Wizard starts automatically when you access the appliance via the web-based interface and displays the end user license agreement (also known as the EULA).

Step 1 Accept the end user license agreement.

Step 2 Enter information from the “Document Network Settings” section on

page 4.

If you need additional information about the settings, choose Help and Support > Online Help.

Step 3 Review the configuration summary page.

Step 4 Click Install this Configuration.

Step 5 The appliance may not appear to have accepted your configuration or

be performing the installation. This is because you have changed the IP address, but the installation is underway.

Step 6 If you temporarily changed the IP address of your computer as

described above, change the IP address settings back to the original values.

Step 7 Ensure that your laptop and the appliance are connected to the

network.

Step 8 Log in to the appliance again, at the hostname or IP address that you

noted in the

“Plan the Installation” section on page 6. Use the username

admin and the new password that you entered in the wizard.

The Cisco M390 Content Security Management Appliance uses a self-signed certificate that may trigger a warning from your web browser. You can simply accept the certificate and ignore this warning.

Step 9 Be sure to keep your new administrator password in a safe place.

Check for Available Upgrades

After logging in to the appliance, look at the top of the web browser window for an upgrade notification (or for a notice in the command-line interface.) If an upgrade is available, evaluate whether you should install it.

Details about each release are available in the release notes for that Async OS version.

Configure Network Settings

Depending on your network configuration, your firewall may need to be configured to allow access using the following ports. SMTP and DNS services must have access to the Internet.

The web security appliance must be able to listen on the following ports:

• FTP: port 21, data port TCP 1024 and higher

• HTTP: port 80

• HTTPS: port 443

• Management access: ports 8443 (HTTPS) and 8080 (HTTP)

• SSH: port 22

The web security appliance must be able to make an outbound connection on the following ports:

• DNS: port 53

• FTP: port 21, data port TCP 1024 and higher

• HTTP: port 80

• HTTPS: port 443

• LDAP: port 389 or 3268

• LDAP over SSL: port 636

• LDAP with SSL for global catalog queries: port 3269

Configuration Summary

Item Description

Management

You can manage the web security appliance from the management port by entering http://192.168.42.42:8080



or by using the IP address assigned to the management interface after you have completed the System Setup Wizard.

If you reset your configuration to factory default settings (for example, by re-running the System Setup Wizard), you can access the management interface only from the MGMT port (http://192.168.42.42:8080), so ensure that you have a connection to the MGMT port.

Also, verify that you open firewall ports 80 and 443 on your management interface.

Data

After running the System Setup Wizard, at least one port on the appliance is configured to receive web traffic from the clients on the network: M1 only; M1 and P1;



M1, P1 and P2; P1 only; or P1 and P2.

Note If you configured the web proxy in

explicit forward mode, the applications on the client machines must be configured to explicitly forward web traffic to the web security appliance’s web proxy using the IP address configured for data, either M1 or P1.

Additional Configuration

Congratulations. Now that you have completed the installation and basic configuration, you can start using your



Cisco S190 Web Security Appliance. You may wish to consider taking some of the following steps to get more out of the appliance:

User Policies

Use the web interface to create policies that define which users can access which web resources as necessary.

• Identify Users—Choose Web Security Manager > Identification Profiles to

define groups of users that can access the Internet.

• Define Access Policies—Choose Web Security Manager > Access Policies to

control user access to the Internet by configuring which objects and applications to allow or block, which URL categories to monitor or block, and web reputation and anti-malware settings.

You can also define several other policy types to enforce your organization’s acceptable use policies by controlling access to the Internet. For example, you can define policies for decrypting HTTPS transactions and other polices that control upload requests.

Traffic Monitor

After running the System Setup Wizard, one or both L4 traffic monitor ports (T1 only or both T1 and T2) are configured to listen to traffic on all TCP ports. The default setting for the L4 traffic monitor is monitor only. During or after setup, you can configure the L4 traffic monitor to both monitor and block suspicious traffic.

Computer Address

Remember to change your computer IP address back to the original settings that you noted in the

“Temporarily Change Your IP Address for Remote Access” section on page 9.
