Configuring an Outbound IP Interface on the Security Management Appliance

Configure an interface on the Security Management appliance to send quarantine-related messages (including notifications and released email) to the Email Security appliance for delivery.

Before you begin

Obtain or identify an IP address to use for the outbound interface. This will typically be the Data 2 interface on the Security Management appliance. For more information about network requirements, see Assigning Network and IP Addresses

Note

Use this procedure in conjunction with the information in Configuring IP Interfaces.

Procedure

Step 1

[New Web Interface Only] On the Security Management appliance, click to load the legacy web interface.

Step 2

Choose Management Appliance > Network IP Interfaces.

Step 3

Click Add IP Interface.

Step 4

Enter the following settings:

  • Name

  • Ethernet Port

    Typically, this will be Data 2. Specifically, this must match the data interface on the Email Security appliance that you specified for the Primary Server in the Deliver Messages Via section of the Spam Quarantine Settings page under Management Appliance > Centralized Services > Spam Quarantine.

  • IP Address

    IP address of the interface that you just specified.

  • Netmask

  • Hostname

    For example, if this is the Data 2 interface, use data2.sma.example.com .

Do not enter information in the Spam Quarantine section for this interface.

Step 5

Submit and commit your changes.
