Ironport C170 Central Management Feature...

We have a SINGLE Ironport C170 that was set up by an IT Services group here over 6 years ago- before I was hired. We have been getting the following message e-mailed to us recently:
The Warning message is:
Your "Centralized Management" key will expire in under 5 day(s). Please contact your authorized Cisco sales representative.
Our concern here is this:
We do not use "Centralized Management"- we only have one office, one E-mail Security appliance. Should we worry about this feature expiring? Is this a Feature Key that we will need to purchase a renewal for? I appreciate any insight into this issue.

Centralized management key was separate (non-free) feature key for connecting multiple appliances in the cluster. Now this license key is included in all newer SW versions in the base license.
If you're not using multiple appliances you don't need this feature and you can ignore this warning.
Just to be sure you're not using a single appliance in a cluster check cluster status with CLI->clusterconfig.

Centralized management feature key Ironport c380

I have ironport c380.
i add centralized management feature key but i cant see it in key table.
i tried to add it a gain but it say it already added.
i trying to add cluster but it not working .
any suggestion ?

What version of AsyncOS is running? As of 8.5 you should not need to add the feature key for centralized management. As long as you are seeing the clusterconfig command, you should be able to create a cluster, and then add your second appliance to the cluster --- as long as it is running the same revision of AsyncOS.
From the release notes for 8.5:
Feature key is no longer required to enable Centralized Management feature. By default, Centralized
Management feature is enabled on your appliance.

ESA Ironport Centralized Management CM feature key

Hi everybody,
I have some brand new C170 appliances and I was trying to create a cluster but it seems to be that the command is not available via CLI. I have configured clusters in the lab environment using the Virtual Appliances but it happens to be that I need a CM feature key (according to the research I've done).
Could someboy answer me some questions like:
What is this feature key the guides talk about?
How do I get a CM feautre key?
Does it have a part number?
How do I install it?
How do I know if it is or it is not enabled in my system?
Thanks in advance,
Jose M. Cortes H.

For cluster commands to be issued - you must have installed an active Centralized Management feature key on the appliance(s). Each feature key is serial number specific, and has to be in the backend system in order to validate.
In order to get a feature key assigned to the serial number(s) for the appliance(s) - contact GLO (Global Licensing Operations):

Phone: 1-800-553-2447, opt 3
Request to have a case opened for GLO/Licensing.
Their email directly is: [email protected]
The proper "part number" is actually the "Product ID" for this feature key. For the ESA, you'll be requesting:
Centralized Management: ESA-CM-LIC=
Once they assign - you'll be able to install this from running 'featurekey', 'activate' and entering in the key provided to you.
Ex.
> activate
Enter feature key directly, or press Enter to return to featurekey menu.
[]>
You'll know it is installed correctly once it is listed in 'featurekey'

How to install renewed feature key to cluster Ironport C170

Our email gateway use two Ironport C170 cluster, recently the feature key expired on both C170 and we are in the process of getting this feature key renewed.
I am new to this cisco ironport, I would like to know once we get this renewed feature key how can we install it on both Ironport C170. the feature currently expired is: "Centralized Management, IronPort Anti-Spam, Sophos Anti-Virus, Outbreak Filters".
After the feature key expired several changes has been made to ironport incoming content filters, because the "centralized management" feature expired these changes are made to both C170 ironport, does this have any impact on installing the renewed feature key?
Thanks.

Hi Rugang,
You can manually install the keys via Web UI or CLI.
In the Web UI, please log in as admin and go to :
System Administration -> Feature Keys -> Section named: Feature Activation
Paste the key string you received in the field named: Feature Key: then hit the button Submit key. You may need to accept the User Agreement. After that the system will validate the key and if everything goes well, you will have the feature ready to use.
In the CLI, please log in ad asmin and run:
> featurekey
then run:
activate
then paste the string for the key you want to install
There is no need to commit changes. You can finish the featurekey command by pressing the ENTER key in your keyboard.
It would be advisable to do not make changes witht he boxes not running Centralized Management due to key expiration, but it seems you already did that. The devices will try to synchronize the settings and it is possible that you will find inconsistencies. You can use the command:
> clustercheck
to view/fix the inconsistencies. This command/action can only be executed via CLI.
I would recommend that you save the configuration from both devices; apply the keys and save the configuration again. Run a diff (linux/unix) or windiff on the files (before and after installing the keys) to see if you find anything which requires your intervention.
As always, please contact our customer support in case you have any questions or have any issues with the whole process.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
-Valter

ESA Centralized Management License

Hi all,
my customer provides single ESA Appliance and would like to produce another one (either physical or virtual). I can see there is no Centralized management license on existing single ESA (wiht dual ESA it was automaticaly added in the past). Can somebody point me, how to obtain (order) centralized management license for existing ESA to be able to make configuration cluster with future ESA?
As I understand it right way, there should be no problem to provide configuration cluster with hybrid ESA (Physical and virtual) - Is it true?
Thank you for any help.

You may request the license be provided for your serial number by contacting our Global Licensing team. They will provide you the availability of the Centralized Management feature key based on your contract and appliance.
Please contact our Global Licensing Operations team:

For the virtual appliance - you will need to assure that they build the centralized management feature key into the license XML, and re-provide a fresh XML for your vESA, based on the VLN associated to the vESA. To get this information - please run 'showlicense' on the CLI.
I hope this helps!

How does new Label Management feature works in Aruba Central?

Q: How does new Label Management feature works in Aruba Central?
A: Central provides a standard web-based interface that allows you to configure and monitor multiple Aruba Wi-Fi networks.
With as many as devices that central could manage, searching a specific device or set of devices becomes difficult. This is where "Label management" feature of Aruba Central helps out.
With "Label Management", administrator can create various labels in advance and use them to assign it to different IAPs or Switches as required. Once the labels are assigned, user can use the label string to search a device or group of devices in central.
Follow these steps create various set of labels in "Label Management":
Login to Aruba Central and click on "All Groups"
In the left-menu, under "Maintenance" select "Label Management"
Click on "Create Label" button and create as many labels you require as per the environment and ease of use.

Deployment Rule Set Centrally Managed location of .jar file?

Hello,
We are currently looking at implementing the Deployment Rule Set in our company and I was wondering if there is a way to centrally manage the Deployment Rule Set?
Having to keep up with deploying the jar file for every change and expiring certificates isn't ideal
Thanks!

And your OS doesn't have a file search feature, which might have given you the answer faster than waiting for a response on these columns?

WAAS Central Manager version 4.1

Hello,
I have to prepare a design of a WAAS deployment for my customer. I have an issue with the 4.1 version: Does i have to use an appliance dedicated for the management or i can use an WAE-512 with entreprise licence for managament and for WAN optimization features?
Thank you in advance

In any version of WAAS the supported configuration is to have a minimum of 2 application accelerators and one central manager. You cannot run the Central Manager and Application Accelerator on the same device.
The enterprise license unlocks specific features, notably CIFS acceleration but will not influence the number of required WAE's.

WAAS 4.1 central management

Hi All,
Base on my understanding, we can run CM on 274 appliance with enterprise license. my question is: if company wants to save money and use 274 as AA, is it possible to implement waas 4.1 solution without even have CM? or CM is the mandatory piece of design?
thanks
Alex

The use of a Central manager is not required to accelerate traffic. However, without, you will not have access statistics reporting, CM software updates, GUI configuration and more.
All AA will have a default policy, but will need to use CLI to implement any advanced features. Highly recommended to utilize a CM in optimization environment as number of site deployments grow. Without CM each branch / core node needs to be administered individually as opposed to centrally using group policies.
Taking the cost into effect of admin for each device vs. ~6k for a manager kind of pays for itself.
The WAVE274 allows for up to 1000 managed devices.

Where May I get WAAS OS 4.2.1 for Central Manager?

I am not seeing ANY WAAS software in Feature Navigator.

Hi James,
There is no specific image for Central manager. You can select the mode when you install WAAS for the first time --> whether you want it to act as central manager or application acceleration. You can select any of the universal images. Universal images can be used for Application accelerator or Central Manager but Accelerator images can only be used for application accelerator.
Further details about various WAAS images on CCO can be found here:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/app_ntwk_services/waas/waas/v443/release/notes/ws443xrn.html#wp90088
You can download the WAAS images under Cisco --> Support --> Downloads --> Browse all categories --> Products --> Application Networking Services --> WAAS --> WAAS software.
Regards.

WLAN Centralized Management

Hi,I want to implement a big wi-fi project with the 1200 series access points.How can i do the centralized management ?? (i must buy the wlse or this feature exists in the IOS of the access point or what... )
Thank u for ur help.

I guess currently the centralized AP solution available is WLSE.

Centrally manage all Cisco Switches

I have more than 20 Cisco switches in my office which is basically a soap manufacturing factory. The switches include Cisco 2950, 2960, 3560, 3750 etc. We have routers also which include 2821, 2951 etc. We also have Cisco WLC 2125 and LAP 1262 series. Sometimes all these devices management comes very tough to us.
We need to logon to different devices for troubleshooting/network managment which sometimes becomes very tough to us. So I wonder if there any cisco applications or tools by which we can centrally manage all these devices.
If would be a great help for us if anyone can suggest.

The closest low cost (free) Cisco product to manage most of that would be Cisco Network Assistant (CNA). It'll do fine with your switches and manage at least your 2900 series router.
If I were on a budget I'd use CNA for the switches, add in Cisco Confguration Professional (CCP) for the couple of routers and use the built-in browser-based interface for the WLC (which covers its WAPs as well).
If you want a paid Cisco product to cover it all, you'd have to step up to Cisco Prime Infrastructure at the base licensing level (up to 50 devices). List price for that is about US$5295.
Third party options abound and also range from free open source projects (Nagios, Cacti, RANCID etc.) to full-featured systems such as the SolarWinds products (NPM, NCM, etc.)

Proper TLS Config for IronPort C170

I inherited an infrastructure a little bit ago that uses an IronPort C170 cluster for email security. I have been tasked with configuring TLS connections with our new medical benefits provider and have some issues doing so. We have 3 MX records, let's call them mail1, mail2 and mail3. Mail1 and mail2 are configured normally on our firewall to pass SMTP traffic on port 25 to the MailListener port on the IronPort which is 25. Mail3, however, is configured on the firewall to translate SMTP traffic on port 25 to port 3600 which is sent to the TLS Listener port 3600 on the IronPort. The IronPort MailInterfaces are configured as such (25,3600) Reverse configuration on the firewall takes any port 3600 traffic from the IronPort and translates it to port 25 traffic for the rest of the world.
I configured the IronPort with a new Sender Group named TLS_ACCEPT, added all the medical provider domain names/IPs to it and assigned it to the ACCEPTED Mail Flow Policy where TLS is set to Required. Likewise, for outgoing, I specified the same domain names/IPs within the Destination Controls to require TLS for sending purposes.
I replaced the guy who originally configured this so I am not too sure how it is setup on the other end for TLS connections already established. We do have a few in place that are active. I am assuming that the other end is configured to send email only to the mail3 MX record. This configuration, however, is not possible with our medical provider so I need an alternative. They have verified that they cannot contact us on mail1 or mail2 via TLS but can with mail3.
The obvious problem is if a sender from these new domains tries to send TLS_required emails to us over the mail1 and mail2 MX IPs, they will receive an NDR. If I configure the firewall to translate mail1 and mail2 incoming connections from port 25 to 3600, any email sent with TLS not prefered/required will get an NDR. This was actually tested and domains like Yahoo and Hotmail could not send to us.
Are there any options for me on the IronPort to allow these connections to be sent from all our MX IPs without having to translate the ports? If not, what would happen if I changed the TLS Listener port on the IronPort to 25 instead of 3600 and disabled all the NAT rules on the firewall for mail3? I am only to assume this translation was another security step added by the previous admin here but am not too sure what would happen if I eliminated it.
Any advice, help, questions, assistance or fun-poking would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you in advance!

Kevin,
OMG there's so much unneeded complication here...You can totally ditch the port translation
Here's what I did:
Under Network/IP interfaces, I have 3 interfaces: managment, Public, Private.
     Public is exposed to the net, only port 25 allowed in/out, with 1 A record for a Domain1 which I have a certificate for.
Under Network/Listener I have 2 Listeners:
     Outbound on the Private interface not really relavent for the rest of this discussion
     Inbound on the Public interface
          listening on port 25
          using an Accept query pointed at my Active Directory (all the various email domains in 1 AD)
          using a cert that matches the hostname on the Public interface
          Mail flow polices in HAT all set to TLS preferred with an address list configed for the "required" ones
Mail Policies/Destination Controls to force sending as TLS
In my external DNS
     Domain1
          A mail.domain1.com x.x.x.
          mx domain1.com mail.domain1.com pref 10 weight 10 TTL 86400
     Domain2-10
          mx domain2.com mail.domain1.com
          mx domain3.com mail.domain1.com
     etc....
Hope that helps...

IronPort C170 Redundancy

Hi All,
I currently have 2 IronPort C170 appliances. I wanted to ask is it possible to configure them to be in hot-standby configuration? If not, what are my alternatives to provide redundancy?

Usually, when it comes to email, redundancy is achieved by exposing multiple boxes to the internet on port 25, setting up A records for each one, and setting up mulitple MX records, with disimilar weights if you want to direct most of the traffic to one of them. The clustering facility afforded you in the Ironrport boxes allows you to manage them from one console, but it has no redundancy/failover implications.
You could use a network load balancer, and it can detect if one of the boxes is no longer accepting mail and then move the traffic to the other box.
Hope that helps...

Cannot delete users from the Central Management Console

I cannot delete users from the Central Management Console. I'm logged in to Enterprise as administrator but still get the following error:
There was an error while writing data back to the server: Sorry, you do not have the right to 'Delete objects' (id - 22) for 'koberg' (id - 725415). Please contact your system or permissions administrator if you require this right.
Thanks in advance for any help on this matter.

Oops, my mistake, sorry. Ok, so the Administrator cannot delete user koberg.
Check top level:
Logon to CMC, browse to Home > Settings and select the Rights tab. These are your top level settings. Factory default will show only Administrators and Everyone. Select the Net Access "Advanced" for the Administrators group. NB: Do not select these group names links - they will jump you out of the top level! On the Advanced rights page, ensure the right to "Delete objects" is explicitly granted.
Then set for the Users top level folder:
In the CMC, browse to Home, and select Users. Select the "Rights" button. Again - NB: Do not select these group names links - they will jump you out of the Users top level folder! Set the Administrators group to "Full Control". Save.
That should be all you need. However, there is a possibility the previous admin was busy setting security not only at the account level, but on groups so we need to verify the user:
In the CMC, browse to Home, and select Users. In the User list, select koberg. In the koberg account page, select the Rights tab. If the Administrators is not set to (Inherited Rights), make it so, and when you select the "Update" button, you should see the Net Access update to "Full Control". If this is the case, you should follow these steps on each account and accomplish this.
And if you still can't delete it, verify the groups:
In the CMC, browse to Home, and select Users. In the User list, select koberg. In the koberg account page, select the "Member of" tab. Note all groups koberg is a member of. Then in the CMC, browse to Home, and select Groups. Select the name hyperlink for the group(s) that koberg belongs to. On the group page, select the Rights tab, and ensure the Administrators have (Inherited Rights) - Full Control on all of these, also. If not, set it.
Finally, I know you inherited this, but let's overview some basics of simplifying your deployment administration. Follow these guidelines, and your administration life will be so much easier.
1. The Everyone group should never have any subgroups. Ever. All accounts on the system are a member of the Everyone group. Adding subgroups to the Everyone group is redundant.
2. For simplicity's sake, Application level access should be set on the Adminstrators Group, and the Everyone group. I know there are customers who add groups to application rights. I don't understand why users would have an account on the system if they are not allowed access to InfoView, but it's your system.
3. From a report object perspective, the Everyone group should be set at the top level to "No Access". This will result in them having no rights on anything at all. You break this inheritance at the application level to give them access to InfoView and other apps. On folders and objects, you ADD groups, then assign (ADD) rights as desired.
4. If you can help it, never explicitly deny a right to any user or group for any object or application. Explicitly deny overrides any other setting. If a user belongs to group A and group B, and group A is explicitly denied a right, you can explicitly grant it for group B or the user all day long, and it will still be denied. Always try to put yourself in the position of adding groups/users, and adding rights, then inheriting as far down the folder tree as you can.
