Chapter 10 Configuring the CSC SSM

Scenario: Security Appliance with CSC SSM Deployed for Content Security

Note The CSC SSM handles SMTP traffic somewhat differently than other content types. After the CSC SSM receives SMTP traffic and scans it, it does not forward the traffic back to the adaptive security appliance for routing. Rather, the CSC SSM forwards the SMTP traffic directly to the SMTP servers protected by the adaptive security appliance.

Scenario: Security Appliance with CSC SSM Deployed for Content Security

Figure 10-2is an illustration of a typical deployment of the adaptive security appliance with CSC SSM. Properties of this scenario are used as examples in the configuration procedures later in this chapter.
