What is required for Cisco WSA SensorBase network to work ?

Hello !

I would like to know if the Web Security Appliance has to have a public address to receive the data collected by SensorBase network.

Is there any additional requirements ?

Thank you for your answers.

Hi Stephane,

The WSA will somehow connected to the Internet directly or via a firewall with your external IP address in the egress point.

SensorBase participation is working via URL via wbnp.ironport.com:443

Depending on your routing, you can test if your WSA can reach this URL from its interface.

I hope this helps.

thanks,

Donny

Thank you donnylee.

I made a packet capture to check if there was any traffic to or from wbnp.ironport.com. I saw some https requests from WSA to wbnp but only the https syn frame. I think that I have some firewall issues that block the answers from wbnp.

I will try to fix it.
