Chapter 2 Overview
Logging In

Figure 2-1 The Login Screen
On brand new (not upgraded from previous releases of AsyncOS) systems, you will automatically be
redirected to the System Setup Wizard.
During the initial system setup, you choose IP addresses for interfaces and whether to run HTTP and/or
HTTPS services for those interfaces. When HTTP and/or HTTPS services have been enabled for an
interface, you can use any supporting browser to view the GUI by entering the IP address or hostname
of the IP interface as a URL in the location field (“address bar”) of the browser. For example:
http://192.168.1.1 or
https://192.168.1.1 or
http://mail3.example.com or
https://mail3.example.com
Note If HTTPS has been enabled for an interface (and HTTP requests are not being redirected to the secure
service), remember to access the GUI using the “https://” prefix.
All users accessing the GUI must log in. Type your username and password, and then click Login to
access the GUI. You must use a supported web browser (see Browser Requirements, page 2-2). You can
log in with the admin account or with a specific user account you have created. (For more information,
see “Adding Users” in the “Common Administrative Tasks” chapter of the Cisco IronPort AsyncOS for
Email Daily Management Guide.)
After you have logged in, the Monitor > Incoming Mail Overview page is displayed.
GUI Sections and Basic Navigation
The GUI consists of the following menus which correspond to functions in your Cisco IronPort
appliance: Monitor, Mail Policies, Security Services, Network, and System Administration. The
following chapters will describe each section, including the tasks you perform on pages within each
section.
Note Online help for the GUI is available from every page within the GUI. Click the Help > Online Help link
at the top right of the page to access the online help.
You navigate among sections of the interface by clicking the menu headings for each main section
(Monitor, Mail Policies, Security Services, Network, and System Administration). Within each menu are
sub-sections that further group information and activities. For example, the Security Services section
