Cisco Ironport Cluster feature

Hi all,
i have 2x ESA and thinking about clutering them. Version is 8.5.6 so no need of feature key to cluster the configuration.
My doubt is that my ESA are alredy configured as per mail flow policies, sender groups, routing smtp routes and so on.
What is the impact of activating the cluster feature with the clusterconfig commmand and create a cluster? Do i loose all the configuration alredy done?
More my 2xESA are already centralized to an SMA for reporting, pov and spam quaratines. Any impact?
thanks
smaikol

Correct - as of 8.5, the cluster configuration is available without need for the additional license/feature key.  You should simply be able to log in on the CLI and run clusterconfig.
When you create the cluster --- you'll create on ESA_A.  Once you join ESA_B to ESA_A in cluster, it will overwrite the configuration on ESA_B --- and will have matching configuration of ESA_A.  On ESA_B, if you had special routing, mail flow policies, or other configuration differences, you would need to go back through and re-configure those at machine level.
As for ESA > SMA, it would not have any impact.  ESA_A and ESA_B will still report individually to the SMA.

    Hi,
    We identified an issue in AsyncOS 6.7.6-068 for Management that under certain circumstances can cause loss of historical reporting data when reporting groups are configured. To ensure a high quality release, further testing on our side is required.
    6.7.6-068 is no longer available for upgrade to your M-Series appliances.
    If you already upgraded to 6.7.6-068 we strongly recommend to disable group based reporting to avoid being affected.
    We expect to release a new improved build of 6.7.6 shortly and apologize for any inconvenience or confusion this might have caused.
    If you are required to upgrade to 6.7.6 before a new build is available, please contact Cisco IronPort Customer Support.
    I'll let you know once the new build is available...
    Best Regards,
    Jakob

  • Cisco Ironport Certificate ISsue

    Hai All,
    We have cisco ironport WSA 370 version 7.5 .
    We need to decrypt some https traffic . But the issue is our corporate AD support only 2048 bit cert. But our WSA box only support 1024.
    Heared that asycos 7.7 (new release) support 2048 bit cert.  When i check the 7.7 guide, its not mentioned. Can you please suggest???

    Hi Mohamed,
    There is a feature request so the WSA can generate 2048 bit certificate; but you can upload a an Intermediate root signing certificate to the appliance.
    Look for "Uploading a Root Certificate and Key"

  • What is the cisco ironport C680 and M680 configuration backup file size?

    what is the cisco ironport C680 and M680 configuration backup file size?

    Size of the XML itself?  That is going to vary based on what you have configured, total lines of code, and # of appliances you may/may not have in cluster.
    M680, based on SMA as stand-alone, should be similar --- you are probably looking @ < 1 MB...

    Hi, this is a (XML) report generated by AutoSupport feature. It contains information about alerts, uptime, output of status command etc.
    AutoSupport is used by Cisco to better support and design future system changes and it can be used for some troubleshooting purposes also.
    AutoSupport can be enabled/disabled in System Administration -> Alerts -> Alert Settings.
    You can choose to send these reports only to the Cisco and not to send weekly reports to system users configured on the appliance by removing checkbox "Send copy of weekly AutoSupport reports to System Information Alert recipients.". Reports are sent to users configured to receive system alerts (info level).

  • Can't remove Failover Cluster feature on Windows 2008 R2

    Hello
    When remove the Failover Cluster feature has following message:
    Cannot remove Failover Clusting
    This server is an active node in a failover cluster. Uninstalling the Failover CVlustering feature on thos node may impact the availabilty of clustered service and applications. It is recommended that you first evict the server from cluster membership. This
    can be done through the Failover Cluster Management snap-in by expanding the console tree under Nodes, selecting the node, clicking More Actions, and then clicking Evict.
    I'm sure there no cluster formed, so how can I remove it?
    Thanks !

    Hey I have the same problem,
    Somehow cluster got installed on one node on windows 2008 R2 but it was not showing anything in cluster fail over manager wizard and cluster service is
    not running
    when I am trying to remove the fail over cluster it says
    "This
    server is an active node in a failover cluster. Uninstalling the Failover CVlustering feature on those node may impact the availability of clustered service and applications. It is recommended that you first evict the server from cluster membership. This can

    Hi Shafiq,
    Please open a ticket and send both of your configuration files with the ticket. The CSE will need to verify that the network interfaces are the same or modify your xml file to allow it to be successfully uploaded to the new 670.

  • Configuring Cisco/IronPort plugin for Outlook with CRES

    With the discontinuation of the IronPort IEA appliances we are getting ready to move from our on-premise IEA appliances to CRES.  I have a demo key for Encryption that I am running on my C660s and I have an Outlook client configured with the Email Security Plug-In version 7.2.0.39.  Currently the Outlook Plug in is configured to point to our on premise IEA appliances for the Server URL attribute in Desktop Encryption Options and is working great.
    My question is, what do I use to connect it to CRES for desktop encryption?
    The Admin guide "Cisco IronPort Email Security Plug-in 7.2 Administrator Guide" page 4-46 just says "Server URL Enter the URL for your  Encryption server."
    Thanks

    Hi Jason,
    Thanks for your question.  The short answer is https://res.cisco.com:443 HOWEVER please note the following two points.  First, you will need a CRES account, so that you can download a token to use with the plugin, to authenticate to CRES; you cannot use the default token which you have probably been using with your IEA.  Second, using the current Outlook plug-in version 7.2 with CRES is not supported; it works, but it is not supported.  There are plans to release a supported version.

  • Cisco IronPort with On Premise Exchange 2013

    Hello All
    The company I work for is in the process of starting an on premise Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013 migration.
    Most of the issues I don't think I'll have an issue with; however, where I am not finding much info is in regards to other companies using Cisco IronPort with Exchange 2013.
    SO, I have two questions within this topic...
    One, is anyone using Cisco IronPort with Exchange 2013 (on premise) out here?
    Two, my manager is very controlling.  I am the Exchange Admin; however, anything having to do with this IronPort thing with regards to Exchange HE has to do it. So, if anyone is familiar with this IronPort thing... How much work on the IronPort is going
    to have to be done during this migration to keep things going?

    It shouldn't be any different with Exchange 2013 than it is with Exchange 2007.

  • Cisco IronPort Plug-In 7.3 breaks when multiple profiles are used?

    In our testing of the Cisco IronPort Plug-In 7.3 we found that if seperate Outlook profiles are used that are configured to different e-mail accounts the plug-in gives an error.
    Here's the scenario.
    Profile A configured with [email protected] up and running receives the BCS Configuratoin File and the plug-in recognizes it and enables the ENCRYPT button.   User1 can use Outlook along with ENCRYPT and all works well.
    But, if that same workstation users opens a different Outlook mail profile is opened that is configured to a different e-mail account.  Profile B configured with [email protected] the following error is generated:  "An error occurred during C:\ProgramData\Cisco\Cisco IronPort Email Security Plug-in\user1\config_2.xml configuartion file initialization.  Some settings have been set to the default values."   Outlook works fine, the decrypt button is greyed out, which is expected, [email protected] is not ENCRYPT enabled.
    The problem is when the user opens up Profile A again, a different error occurs "
    "An error occurred during C:\ProgramData\Cisco\Cisco IronPort Email Security Plug-in\user1\config_1.xml configuartion file initialization.  Some settings have been set to the default values." and the ENCRYPT button is still disabled, even though this user is authorized for ENCRYPTION.   At this point the user has to open the BCS Configuration File again, which does give the message 'This message contains a secure attachment with settings for [email protected]  Do you want to apply these settings?".   If they answer YES, the ENCRYPT button is re-enabled.
    Is Cisco aware of this?   What is the resolution?
    Thanks.

    Same workstation AD login that has full access to both e-mail accounts. 
    Email account A profile A is the same as the workstation login used.   Email account B profile B is a different e-mail address / AD object but user A has full access to the mailbox.
    I would expect Encryption to work for Profile A and not for Profile B, e-mail address B was never sent the configuration file.  But when I go back to use Profile A, encryption is no longer enabled, requireing me to run the configuration again.

  • QoS Cisco SCE8000, Caching Cisco IronPort WSA, Loadbalancing Cisco ACE solution

    Hi all,
    Our customer is a mobile operator. They need a integrated solution for caching, QoS and Loadbalancing in a combination. From my understanding of their goals, they need to providing stable and speedy broadband access as well as good user experience by the differentiation service offering. They need to classify IP traffic and prioritize and control of content-based services for a given subscriber while transparently and dynamically redirect and load balance the application level classified of IP traffic to a proxy caching server regardless of protocols such as http, https, ssl, ftp, flv, mms and rstp, sip, p2p....
    Attached pls find the RFP and technical specification for Caching and QoS.
    I appreciate your expertise to consult me whether I can propose for them the Cisco ACE standalone appliance or ACE engine module for 7600/6500 for loadbalancing, Cisco IronPort WSA for caching and dual Cisco SCE8000 for QoS as an integrated solution. Is this solution feasible/workable and where could I find the same reference or solution design or technical guidance on this?
    Thanks a lot and would like to hear from you at the soonest!

  • Any methods to simulate Cisco IronPort WSA appliance for practice

    Similar to GNS3 on which we can simulate ASA/Routers, same way any other methods to simulate Cisco IronPort WSA appliance for practice or testing? Please let me know. Thanks.

    You can download the virtual WSA. I have not tried it so I'm not sure how it works without a license.

  • HT4864 Emails from .mac or .me emails being bounced by Cisco Ironports

    Is anyone else having problems with their .mac or .me email being bounced by Cisco Ironports?  Mine recently began bouncing when sending email to my wife at work.  She investigated it with their IT team and got the following response.
    We did some research and with the system administrators assistance we've figured out what is causing this. Seems that a lot of @mac.com accounts have been compromised lately and have earned themselves a bad reputation with our spam blocking service, Cisco IronPorts. What this means is that it's not any settings on either side, nor anything we control but it is in Apple's court to remedy the issue with their e-mail servers to get a proper reputation again. This is causing e-mails to be blocked from @mac.com, @me.com and @icloud.com accounts worldwide.

    I have also been having this issue for the last several weeks. Apple seriously needs to adjust whatever is causing outbound emails to get flagged. Apple also has the ability to work on their end to remove accounts that cause our email accounts to be lumped in with those causing the bad reputation. They also have the ability to work with upper level people at the companies where the rejection as spam is occuring, to help create specific algorithms to work around this for those not at fault. This has caused major disruptions in my business and is strangly unpredictable. Sometimes I get rejected, and sometimes it goes through to the same address. It doesn't make any sense to me but then again, I'm not a programmer. APPLE, PLEASE FIX THIS!

  • Cisco IronPort - Youtube filtered except when logged on google

    Hello everybody
    Have you heard about that ?
    My Cisco Ironport filters youtube videos. I cant play any video.
    But, if I log on google first, with a google account, I can access youtube and watch videos.

    Hi,
    My guess is you are not using https inspection, if you were it would work as you wanted.
    This does require work to set up though.
    An external supplied proxy we use provided a workaround, although I haven't had time to see if it's possible to replicate on an IronPort, this was done to enforce safe search when someone was logged into Google:
    The changes made today are as follows:
    - Requests for www.google.com or www.google.co.uk are returned with nosslsearch.google.com by the WFS Gateway.
    - Requests for encrypted.google.com are blocked.
    The way this works is that when a user requests www.google.com or www.google.co.uk they are instead asking for nosslsearch.google.com - This way Google does not redirect the user to the encrypted HTTPS version of www.google.com or www.google.co.uk - Now that the webpage is not encrypted the Content Filter can now enforce the safe search options.
    Thanks
    Chris
