Plan the installation within your network
Your Cisco IronPort Appliance is designed to serve as your SMTP email gateway at your network perimeter – that is, the first machine with an IP address that is directly accessible to the Internet for sending and receiving email. Many of the features (including Email Security Monitor, Reputation Filtering, Spam Detection, Virus Protection, and Encryption) require you to install the Cisco IronPort appliance into your existing network infrastructure in the following way.

Clients
Depending on your network configuration, your firewall may need to be configured to allow access on the following ports.
SMTP and DNS services must have access to the Internet. For other system functions, the following services may be required:
•• | SMTP: port 25 | •• | DNS: port 53 |
•• | HTTP: port 80 | •• | HTTPS: port 443 |
•• | SSH: port 22 | •• | Telnet: port 23 |
•• LDAP: port 389 or 3268 | •• | NTP: port 123 | |
•• LDAP over SSL: port 636 |
|

Data
The Cisco IronPort Appliance requires at least one IP address to send and receive email. Ideally, two IP addresses should be used:
•• Connect the Data 1 network port to your public network
•• Connect the Data 2 network port to your private network
Alternately, you can receive and deliver email from a single connection to either network port, if your network topology dictates it. Multiple IP addresses can be configured on one network interface.
