Hi everybody, i am done with the implementation of my new IronPort box. But now, before put it under production, i need to validate the box. So, i need to see if i can communicate with my Exchange Server, if i can generate an e-mail for my Exchange Sever, and so on. Does anyone know some papers, docs or instructions with some "VALIDATION" commands that i can use for this purpose? It is my first contact with IronPort and i did not find a chaper on the ESA guide with this kind of instructions. Thanks a lot again. ... View more

Hello all, is there someone able to clarify the workflow that an email message takes when it goes  through a n IronPort Appliance? I have looked at documentation, and i can see how the features works and their functions, but, i did not find a kind of correlation about them. For example: We have HAT, RAT, Mail Policy, Message Filter, Content Filter and so on... which one is the first and what are the process on inbound and outbound messages? How is it checked and in which order along all these "steps" ? I have to create an internal procedure in my company, but first, i need to understand this to transfer better explanations to our papers. Any help will be very apreciable. Thanks a lot. ...

Hi all, my company is buying a new IronPort C-Series box and also a Management box. We already have a C-Series box working with an Exchange server. I am planning how to put them inside my network, and my suggestion is: -LEGEND- IronPortA = Old IronPort (C-Series) box (existing today) IronPortB = New IronPort (C-Series) box (the one my company is buying) M-Box = New Management (M-Series) box (the one my company is buying as well) -STEPS- 1) Install IronPortB and Install the M-Box. 2) Make a cluster using IronPortA and IronPortB using the new M-Box. (So, boxes will share same settings and policies) 3) Create a new MX Record in my DNS for the new IronPortB. 4) Confirm that exists a SMTP Route in IronPortB poiting to the same address as the IronPortA. That is my one and only Exchange Server in the network. So...i will have two clustered IronPorts, with a MX Record load-balancing, sending to the same Exchange Server. Is this approach ok? I've seen that in some documentations and i want to use it. So,the questions are: A) Are there another settings than "SMTP Route" that is necessary to configure in IronPortB? B) Is there any special setting to do in Exchange Server to support this solution? Please, this is very critical and any help will be very welcome. Thanks all. ... View more
