BE FO R E Y O U R E A D T H IS B O OK
This guide assumes that you have already installed and configured your IronPort appliance. You should also be familiar with the IronPort AsyncOS Beginning and Advanced User Guides. Note If you have already cabled your appliance to your network, ensure that the default IP address for the IronPort appliance does not conflict with other IP addresses on your network. The IP address assigned to the Management port by the factory is 192.168.42.42. See to Chapter 3, Setup and Installation, in the IronPort AsyncOS User Guide for more information about assigning IP addresses to the IronPort appliance.
Documentation Set
The AsyncOS documentation set is divided into three separate books the IronPort AsyncOS User Guide, the IronPort AsyncOS Advanced User Guide, and this book, which focuses on advanced features and configuration via the command line interface. Occasionally, this book will refer to the User Guide or Advanced User Guide for additional information on topics.

CHAPTER
Command Line Interface: The Basics

This chapter contains the following sections: Command Line Interface (CLI) on page 10 Batch Commands on page 16
CHAPTER 2: COMMAND LINE INTERFACE: THE BASICS 9
CO M M A ND L IN E IN T E R FA C E ( C L I)
The IronPort AsyncOS Command Line Interface is an interactive interface designed to allow you to configure and monitor the IronPort appliance. The commands are invoked by entering the command name, or in the case of batch format commands the command name with arguments (or parameters). If you enter the command without arguments, the command prompts you for the required information. The Command Line Interface is accessible via SSH or Telnet on IP interfaces that have been configured with these services enabled, or via terminal emulation software on the serial port. By factory default, SSH and Telnet are configured on the Management port. Use the interfaceconfig command described in Other Tasks in the GUI in the IronPort AsyncOS User Guide to disable these services.
Accessing the Command Line Interface (CLI)

Access to the CLI varies depending on the management connection method chosen while setting up the appliance. The factory default username and password are listed next. Initially, only the admin user account has access to the CLI. You can add other users with differing levels of permission after you have accessed the command line interface for the first time via the admin account. The system setup wizard asks you to change the password for the admin account. The password for the admin account can also be reset directly at any time using the password command. To connect via Ethernet: Start an SSH or Telnet session with the factory default IP address 192.168.42.42. SSH is configured to use port 22. Telnet is configured to use port 23. Enter the username and password below. To connect via a Serial connection: Start a terminal session with the communication port on your personal computer that the serial cable is connected to. See the Setup and Installation chapter in the AsyncOS User Guide for more information. Enter the username and password below. Log in to the appliance by entering the username and password below.
Factory Default Username and Password
Username: admin Password: ironport For example:

login: admin password: ironport
Command Line Interface Conventions

This section describes the rules and conventions of the AsyncOS CLI.
10
COMMAND LINE INTERFACE CONVENTIONS
Command Prompt
The top-level command prompt consists of the fully qualified hostname, followed by the greater than (>) symbol, followed by a space. For example:
mail3.example.com>
If the appliance has been configured as part of a cluster with the Centralized Management feature, the prompt in the CLI changes to indicate the current mode. For example:
(Cluster Americas) >
or
(Machine los_angeles.example.com) >
See Centralized Management in the AsyncOS Advanced User Guide for more information. When running commands, the CLI requires input from you. When the CLI is expecting input from you, the command prompt shows the default input enclosed in square brackets ([]) followed by the greater than (>) symbol. When there is no default input, the command prompt brackets are empty. For example:
Please create a fully-qualified hostname for this Gateway (Ex: "mail3.example.com"): []> mail3.example.com
When there is a default setting, the setting is displayed within the command prompt brackets. For example:
Ethernet interface: 1. Data 1 2. Data 2 3. Management [1]> 1
When a default setting is shown, typing Return is equivalent to typing the default:
Ethernet interface: 1. Data 1 2. Data 2 3. Management [1]> (type Return) Command Syntax
When operating in the interactive mode, the CLI command syntax consists of single commands with no white spaces and no arguments or parameters. For example:
mail3.example.com> systemsetup
C H A P T E R 2 : C O M M A N D L I N E I N T E R F A C E : T H E B A S I C S 11
Select Lists
When you are presented with multiple choices for input, some commands use numbered lists. Enter the number of the selection at the prompt. For example:
Log level: 1. Error 2. Warning 3. Information 4. Debug 5. Trace [3]> 3 Yes/No Queries
When given a yes or no option, the question is posed with a default in brackets. You may answer Y, N, Yes, or No. Case is not significant. For example:
Do you want to enable FTP on this interface? Subcommands [Y]> n
Some commands give you the opportunity to use subcommands. Subcommands include directives such as NEW, EDIT, and DELETE. For the EDIT and DELETE functions, these commands provide a list of the records previously configured in the system. For example:
mail3.example.com> interfaceconfig
Currently configured interfaces: 1. Management (192.168.42.42/24: mail3.example.com) Choose the operation you want to perform: - NEW - Create a new interface. - EDIT - Modify an interface. - GROUPS - Define interface groups. - DELETE - Remove an interface. []>
Within subcommands, typing Enter or Return at an empty prompt returns you to the main command. Escape You can use the Control-C keyboard shortcut at any time within a subcommand to immediately exit return to the top level of the CLI.
12
GENERAL PURPOSE CLI COMMANDS
History
The CLI keeps a history of all commands you type during a session. Use the Up and Down arrow keys on your keyboard, or the Control-P and Control-N key combinations, to scroll through a running list of the recently-used commands.
mail3.example.com> (type the Up arrow key) mail3.example.com> interfaceconfig (type the Up arrow key) mail3.example.com> topin (type the Down arrow key) Command Completion
The IronPort AsyncOS CLI supports command completion. You can type the first few letters of some commands followed by the Tab key, and the CLI completes the string for unique commands. If the letters you entered are not unique among commands, the CLI narrows the set. For example:
mail3.example.com> set (type the Tab key) setgateway, sethostname, settime, settz mail3.example.com> seth (typing the Tab again completes the entry with sethostname)
For both the history and file completion features of the CLI, you must type Enter or Return to invoke the command.
Configuration Changes
You can make configuration changes to IronPort AsyncOS while email operations proceed normally. Configuration changes will not take effect until you complete the following steps:
1. Issue the commit command at the command prompt. 2. Give the commit command the input required. 3. Receive confirmation of the commit procedure at the CLI.
Changes to configuration that have not been committed will be recorded but not put into effect until the commit command is run. Note Not all commands in AsyncOS require the commit command to be run. See Appendix 1, AsyncOS CLI Quick Reference Guide, for a summary of commands that require commit to be run before their changes take effect. Exiting the CLI session, system shutdown, reboot, failure, or issuing the clear command clears changes that have not yet been committed.
General Purpose CLI Commands

This section describes the commands used to commit or clear changes, to get help, and to quit the command-line interface.
Committing Configuration Changes
The commit command is critical to saving configuration changes to the IronPort appliance. Many configuration changes are not effective until you enter the commit command. (A few commands do not require you to use the commit command for changes to take effect. The commit command applies configuration changes made to IronPort AsyncOS since the last commit command or the last clear command was issued. You may include comments up to 255 characters. Changes are not verified as committed until you receive confirmation along with a timestamp. Entering comments after the commit command is optional.
mail3.example.com> commit
Please enter some comments describing your changes: []> Changed "psinet" IP Interface to a different IP address Changes committed: Wed Jan 01 12:00:01 2003
Note To successfully commit changes, you must be at the top-level command prompt. Type Return at an empty prompt to move up one level in the command line hierarchy.
Clearing Configuration Changes
The clear command clears any changes made to the IronPort AsyncOS configuration since the last commit or clear command was issued.
mail3.example.com> clear Are you sure you want to clear all changes since the last commit? y Changes cleared: Mon Jan 01 12:00:01 2003 mail3.example.com> Quitting the Command Line Interface Session [Y]>
The quit command logs you out of the CLI application. Configuration changes that have not been committed are cleared. The quit command has no effect on email operations. Logout is logged into the log files. (Typing exit is the same as typing quit.)
mail3.example.com> quit Configuration changes entered but not committed. Exiting will lose changes. Type 'commit' at the command prompt to commit changes. Are you sure you wish to exit? [N]> Y
14
GENERAL PURPOSE CLI COMMANDS
Seeking Help on the Command Line Interface
The help command lists all available CLI commands and gives a brief description of each command. The help command can be invoked by typing either help or a single question mark (?) at the command prompt.
mail3.example.com> help
BA TC H C OM M A N DS
AsyncOS includes support for batch command formats that allow you to execute certain CLI commands using a new, single-line CLI format. This format reduces the number of user inputs required to complete tasks and provides a mechanism allowing users to easily automate common configuration tasks. Batch commands also allow users to issue commands remotely using an SSH client. This enables users to easily script CLI commands and execute them on multiple appliances at one time. Please note that these commands do not provide new functionality to your IronPort appliance; rather, they provide you with an additional method of execution for your appliance. For the current release of AsyncOS these CLI commands have associated batch commands:
aliasconfig listenerconfig -> hostacess (HAT) listenerconfig -> rcptacess (RAT)
smtproutes Batch command syntax is dependent on the specific command being used. Please see the appropriate CLI example contained in Chapter 3, The Commands: Reference Examples, for more information about syntax specific to that command.
Batch Command Example

In the following example, the sendergroup REDLIST is created. It is then associated with the policy THROTTLED, and then the sender possible_spammer.com is added to the sender group. To execute this action using the CLI:

resetconfig
Description
When physically transferring the appliance, you may want to start with factory defaults. The resetconfig command resets all IronPort AsyncOS configuration values to factory defaults. This command is extremely destructive, and it should only be used when you are transferring the unit or as a last resort to solving configuration issues. It is recommended you run the systemsetup command after reconnecting to the CLI after you have run the resetconfig command. Note The resetconfig command only works when the appliance is in the offline state. When the resetconfig command completes, the appliance is automatically returned to the online state, even before you run the systemsetup command again. If mail delivery was suspended before you issued the resetconfig command, the mail will attempt to be delivered again when the resetconfig command completes. WARNING: The resetconfig command will return all network settings to factory defaults, potentially disconnecting you from the CLI, disabling services that you used to connect to the appliance (FTP, Telnet, SSH, HTTP, HTTPS), and even removing additional user accounts you created with the userconfig command. Do not use this command if you are not able to reconnect to the CLI using the Serial interface or the default settings on the Management port through the default Admin user account.
Usage
Commit: This command does not require a commit. Cluster Management: This command is restricted to machine mode. It is further restricted to the login host (i.e., the specific machine you are logged onto). This command requires access to the local file system. Batch Command: This command does not support a batch format.
Example
Code Example 3-19 resetconfig
mail3.example.com> offline Delay (seconds, minimum 30): [30]> 45 Waiting for listeners to exit... Receiving suspended. Waiting for outgoing deliveries to finish...

clusterconfig
Description
The clusterconfig command is used to configure cluster-related settings. If this machine is not part of a cluster, running clusterconfig will give you the option of joining a cluster or creating a new cluster. The clusterconfig command provides additional subcommands: Non-Cluster Commands The following commands are available when you are not in a cluster. clusterconfig new <name> This will create a new cluster with the given name. This machine will be a member of this cluster and a member of a default cluster group called "Main Group".
<name> - The name of the new cluster.
clusterconfig join [--port=xx] <ip_of_remote_cluster> [<admin_password>]<groupname> This will add this machine to a cluster.
<ip_of_remote_cluster> - The IP address of another machine in the cluster. <admin_password >- The admin password of the cluster. This should not be
specified if joining over CCS.

<groupname> - The name of the group to join. <port> - The port of the remote machine to connect to (defaults to 22). clusterconfig prepjoin print This will display the information needed to prepare the joining of this machine to a cluster over a CCS port.
Cluster Commands The following commands are available when you are in a cluster. clusterconfig addgroup <groupname> Creates a new cluster group. The group starts off with no members. clusterconfig renamegroup <old_groupname> <new_groupname> Change the name of a cluster group. clusterconfig deletegroup <groupname> [new_groupname] Remove a cluster group.
42
CLUSTERCONFIG
<groupname> - Name of the cluster group to remove. <new_groupname> - The cluster group to put machines of the old group into.
clusterconfig setgroup <machinename> <groupname> Sets (or changes) which group a machine is a member of.
<machinename> - The name of the machine to set. <groupname> - The group to set the machine to.
clusterconfig removemachine <machinename> Remove a machine from the cluster. clusterconfig setname <name> Changes the name of the cluster to the given name. clusterconfig list Display all the machines currently in the cluster. clusterconfig connstatus Display all the machines currently in the cluster and add routing details for disconnected machines. clusterconfig disconnect <machinename> This will temporarily detach a machine from the cluster.
<machinename> - The name of the machine to disconnect.
clusterconfig reconnect <machinename> - This will restore connections with machines that were detached with the disconnect command. clusterconfig prepjoin new <serial_number> <hostname> <user_key> This will add a new host that is to join the cluster over the CCSport.
<serial_number> - The serial number of the machine being added. <hostname> - The host name of the machine being added. <user_key> - The SSH user key from the "prepjoin print" command from
the joining machine. clusterconfig prepjoin delete <serial_number|hostname> This will remove a host that was previously indicated to be added from the "prepjoin new" command. This is only necessary to be used if you later decide not to add the host. When a host is successfully added to the cluster, its prepjoin information is automatically removed.
Usage
Commit: This command does not require a commit. Cluster Management: This command is restricted to cluster mode. Batch Command: This command does not supports a batch format.

revert
Description
Reverts the AsyncOS operating system to a previous version for emergency uses only. Using the revert command on an IronPort appliance is a very destructive action. This command destroys all configuration logs and databases. In addition, it disrupts mail handling until the appliance is reconfigured. Because this command destroys all configuration, it is highly recommended that you have physical local access to the IronPort appliance when you want to issue the revert command. Once the revert action is complete, you must use the console CLI or a network connection to the Management port on the default IP address of 192.168.42.42 to reconfigure the appliance. Please follow instructions for preparing for and performing reversion in the IronPort AsyncOS User Guide.
Usage
Example Code Example 3-59 The revert Command mail.mydomain.com> revert This command will reset the device to a different AsyncOS version. Resetting the device will destroy all configuration, logs, databases, and generally disrupt mail handling until reconfigured. This command will reset the device to a different AsyncOS version.
Code Example 3-59 The revert Command Resetting the device will destroy all configuration, logs, databases, and generally disrupt mail handling until reconfigured. Resetting the device will cause an immediate reboot to take place. The device will then reboot, reinitialize itself, and finally reboot again to the desired version. Are you sure you want to continue? yes Are you *really* sure you want to continue? yes Available version Install date ================= ============ Available version Install date 1. 5.5.0-236 Tue Aug 28 11:03:44 PDT 2007 2. 5.5.0-330 Tue Aug 28 13:06:05 PDT 2007 3. 5.5.0-418 Wed Sep 5 11:17:08 PDT 2007 Please select an AsyncOS version: 2 You have selected "5.5.0-330".

LDAP
L DA P
This section contains the following CLI commands: ldapconfig ldapflush ldaptest
ldapconfig
Description
Configure LDAP servers

Usage
Example
In the following example, the ldapconfig command is used to define an LDAP server for the appliance to bind to, and queries for recipient acceptance (ldapaccept subcommand), routing (ldaprouting subcommand), and masquerading (masquerade subcommand) are configured. First, the nickname of PublicLDAP is given for the mldapserver.example.com LDAP server. Queries are directed to port 389 (the default). The search base of example.com is defined (dc=example,dc=com), and queries for recipient acceptance, mail re-routing, and masquerading are defined. The queries in this example are similar to an OpenLDAP directory configuration which uses the inetLocalMailRecipient auxiliary object class defined in the expired Internet Draft draft-lachman-laser-ldap-mail-routing-xx.txt, also sometimes known as the Laser spec. (A version of this draft is included with the OpenLDAP source distribution.) Note that in this example, the alternate mailhost to use for queried recipients in the mail rerouting query is mailForwardingAddress. Remember that query names are case-sensitive and must match exactly in order to return the proper results.

bounceconfig
Description
Configure the behavior of bounces.

Usage
Example
In the following example, a bounce profile named bounceprofile is created using the bounceconfig command. In this profile, all hard bounced messages are sent to the alternate address [email protected]. Delay warnings messages are enabled. One warning message will be sent per recipient, and the default value of 4 hours (14400 seconds) between warning messages is accepted
Code Example 3-66 bounceconfig- Creating a Bounce Profile

Default 2. bounceprofile Choose the operation you want to perform: - NEW - Create a new profile. - EDIT - Modify a profile. - DELETE - Remove a profile. Applying a Bounce Profile to a Listener
After a bounce profile has been configured, you can apply the profile for each listener using the listenerconfig -> bounceconfig command and then committing the changes. Note Bounce profiles can be applied based upon the listener that a message was received on. However, this listener has nothing to do with how the message is ultimately delivered. In this example, the OutboundMail private listener is edited and the bounce profile named
bouncepr1 is applied to it.
Code Example 3-68 listenerconfig and bounceconfig - Applying a Bounce Profile to a Listener
mail3.example.com> listenerconfig Currently configured listeners: 1. InboundMail (on PublicNet, 192.168.2.1) SMTP Port 25 Public 2. OutboundMail (on PrivateNet, 192.168.1.1) SMTP Port 25 Private

destconfig
Formerly the setgoodtable command. The table is now called the Destination Control Table. Use this table to configure delivery limits for a specified domain.
116
DESTCONFIG
Using the destconfig Command
The following commands are available within the destconfig submenu:

Table 3-4 destconfig Subcommands
Syntax NEW EDIT DELETE DEFAULT LIST DETAIL CLEAR
Description
Add new limits for a domain. Modify the limits for a domain. Remove the limits for a domain. Change the default limits for non-specified domains. Display the list of domains and their limits. Display the details for one destination or all entries. Remove all entries from the table.
The destconfig command requires the following information for each row in the Destination Controls table. Domain (recipient host) Maximum simultaneous connections to the domain Recipient limit System-wide or Virtual Gateway switch Enforce limits per MX or domain Time period for recipient limit (in minutes) Bounce Verification Bounce profile to use for the domain
Sample Destination Control Table

Specifying an IP address
Example: Creating a new destconfig Entry
In the following example, the current destconfig entries are printed to the screen. Then, a new entry for the domain partner.com is created. The concurrency limit of 100 simultaneous connections and recipient limit of 50 recipients for a 60-minute time period is set for that domain. So, the system will never open more than 100 connections or deliver to more than more than 50 recipients in a given hour to the domain partner.com. No bounce profile is assigned for this specific domain, and no specific TLS setting is configured. Finally, the changes are printed to confirm and then committed

In this example, another destconfig entry is created to throttle mail to the internal groupware server exchange.example.com. This shock absorber entry for your internal server throttles inbound delivery to your internal groupware servers during periods of especially high volume traffic. In this example, the IronPort appliance will never open more than ten simultaneous connections or deliver to more than 1000 recipients to the internal groupware server exchange.example.com in any given minute. No bounce profile or TLS setting is configured:

routeconfig
Description
The routeconfig command allows you to create, edit, and delete static routes for TCP/IP traffic. By default, traffic is routed through the default gateway set with the setgateway command. However, IronPort AsyncOS allows specific routing based on destination. Routes consist of a nickname (for future reference), a destination, and a gateway. A gateway (the next hop) is an IP address such as 10.1.1.2. The destination can be one of two things: an IP address, such as 192.168.14.32 a subnet using CIDR notation. For example, 192.168.5.0/24 means the entire class C network from 192.168.5.0 to 192.168.5.255. The command presents a list of all currently configured TCP/IP routes for you to select from using the edit and delete subcommands.
Usage
Example
Code Example 3-104 routeconfig
mail3.example.com> routeconfig Currently configured routes: 1. WestNet Destination: 192.168.11.0/24 Gateway: 192.168.14.2 2.

sethostname
Description
The hostname is used to identify the system at the CLI prompt. You must enter a fully-qualified hostname. The sethostname command sets the name of the IronPort appliance. The new hostname does not take effect until you issue the commit command.
Usage
Example
Code Example 3-106 sethostname
oldname.example.com> sethostname [oldname.example.com]> mail3.example.com oldname.example.com>
For the hostname change to take effect, you must enter the commit command. After you have successfully committed the hostname change, the new name appears in the CLI prompt:
Code Example 3-107
oldname.example.com> commit Please enter some comments describing your changes: []> Changed System Hostname Changes committed: Mon Apr 18 12:00:01 2003

FILTERS
Usage
Commit: This command requires a commit. Cluster Management: This command is restricted to machine mode. Batch Command: This command does not support a batch format
Example
In this example, the filter command is used to create three new filters: The first filter is named big_messages. It uses the body-size rule to drop messages larger than 10 megabytes. The second filter is named no_mp3s. It uses the attachment-filename rule to drop messages that contain attachments with the filename extension of .mp3. The third filter is named mailfrompm. It uses mail-from rule examines all mail from [email protected] and blind-carbon copies [email protected]. Using the filter -> list subcommand, the filters are listed to confirm that they are active and valid, and then the first and last filters are switched in position using the move subcommand. Finally, the changes are committed so that the filters take effect.
Code Example 3-116 filters
mail3.example.com> filters Choose the operation you want to perform: - NEW - Create a new filter. - IMPORT - Import a filter script from a file. []> new Enter filter script.

POLICYCONFIG
policyconfig
Description
Configure per recipient or sender based policies

Usage
Example
In this example, the policyconfig -> edit -> antispam subcommand is used to edit the Symantec Brightmail Anti-Spam settings for the default incoming mail policy. (Note that this same configuration is available in the GUI from the Email Security Manager feature. For more information see the AsyncOS 4.6 User Guide.) First, messages positively identified as spam are chosen not to be archived; they will be dropped. Messages that are suspected to be spam are chosen to be archived. They will also be sent to the Symantec Brightmail Quarantine installed on the server named quarantine.example.com. The text [quarantined: possible spam] is prepended to the subject line and a special header of X-quarantined: true is configured to be added to these suspect messages. In this scenario, Administrators and end-users can check the quarantine for false positives, and an administrator can adjust, if necessary, the suspected spam threshold. Finally, the changes are committed.

Next, create a new content filter to be used in the Incoming Mail Overview policy table. In the CLI, the filters subcommand of the policyconfig command is the equivalent of the Incoming Content Filters GUI page. When you create content filters in the CLI, you must use the save subcommand to save the filter and return to the policyconfig command. First, create the scan_for_confidential content filter:

Note The CLI does not contain the notion of adding a new content filter within an individual policy. Rather, the filters subcommand forces you to manage all content filters from within one subsection of the policyconfig command. For that reason, adding the drop_large_attachments has been omitted from this example.

Once you answer y or yes to the question about adding users, you begin user management, where you can manage the user list. This lets you add or remove multiple users to the quarantine without having to go through the other quarantine configuration questions. Press Return (Enter) at an empty prompt ([]>) to exit the user management section and continue with configuring the quarantine. Note You will only be prompted to give users access to the quarantine if guest or operator users have already been created on the system. A quarantine's user list only contains users belonging to the Operators or Guests groups. Users in the Administrators group always have full access to the quarantine. When managing the user list, the NEW command is suppressed if all the Operator/Guest users are already on the quarantine's user list. Similarly, DELETE is suppressed if there are no users to delete.
scanconfig
Description
Configure attachment scanning policy

Usage
Commit: This command requires a commit.
192
SCANCONFIG
Cluster Management: This command can be used in all three machine modes (cluster, group, machine). Batch Command: This command does not support a batch format.
Example
In this example, the scanconfig command sets these parameters: MIME types of video/*, audio/*, image/* are skipped (not scanned for content). Nested (recursive) archive attachments up to 10 levels are scanned. (The default is 5 levels.) The maximum size for attachments to be scanned is 10 megabytes; anything larger will be skipped. (The default is 5 megabytes.) The document metadata is scannned. Attachment scanning timeout is set at 180 seconds. Attachments that were not scanned are assumed to not match the search pattern. (This is the default behavior.) ASCII encoding is configured for use when none is specified for plain body text or anything with MIME type plain/text or plain/html. Note When setting the assume the attachment matches the search pattern to Y, messages that cannot be scanned will cause the message filter rule to evaluate to true. This could result in unexpected behavior, such as the quarantining of messages that do not match a dictionary, but were quarantined because their content could not be correctly scanned.
Code Example 3-124 Scan Config - Configuring Scan Behavior

Example of SCP Push Log Subscription
In the following example, the logconfig command is used to configure a new delivery log called LogPush. The log is configured to be pushed via SCP to a remote host with the IP address of 10.1.1.1, as the user logger, and stored in the directory /tmp. Note that the sshconfig command is automatically called from within the logconfig command when the log retrieval method is SCP push. (See Configuring Host Keys in the IronPort AsyncOS Advanced User Guide for information about Host keys, and Managing Secure Shell (SSH) Keys in the IronPort AsyncOS User Guide for more information about User keys.) Also note that an IP address can be used at the hostname prompt.

listenerconfig
Description
The listenerconfig command allows you to create, edit, and delete a listener. IronPort AsyncOS requires that you specify criteria that messages must meet in order to be accepted and then relayed to recipient hosts either internal to your network or to external recipients on the Internet. These qualifying criteria are defined in listeners; collectively, they define and enforce your mail flow policies. Listeners also define how the IronPort appliance communicates with the system that is injecting email.
Table 3-8 listenerconfig Commands
Name
Unique nickname you supply for the listener, for future reference. The names you define for listeners are case-sensitive. AsyncOS does not allow you to create two identical listener names. Listeners are assigned to IP interfaces. All IP interfaces must be configured using the systemstartup command or the interfaceconfig command before you create and assign a listener to it. The mail protocol is used for email receiving: either ESMTP or QMQP The specific IP port used for connections to the listener. by default SMTP uses port 25 and QMQP uses port 628.

LISTENERCONFIG
Table 3-8 listenerconfig Commands
Listener Type:
Public Private
Public and private listeners are used for most configurations. By convention, private listeners are intended to be used for private (internal) networks, while public listeners contain default characteristics for receiving email from the Internet. Blackhole listeners can be used for testing or troubleshooting purposes. When you create a blackhole listener, you choose whether messages are written to disk or not before they are deleted. (See Chapter 9, Testing and Troubleshooting of the AsyncOS Advanced User Guide for more information.
Blackhole
Usage
Commit: This command requires a commit. Cluster Management: This command can be used in all three machine modes (cluster, group, machine). Batch Command: This command supports a batch format.

Example - Adding a listener
In the following example, the listenerconfig command is used to create a new private listener called OutboundMail that can be used for the B listener needed in the Enterprise Gateway configuration. (Note: you also had the option to add this private listener during the GUIs System Setup Wizard CLI systemsetup command.) A private listener type is chosen and named OutboundMail. It is specified to run on the PrivateNet IP interface, using the SMTP protocol over port 25. The default values for the Host Access Policy for this listener are then accepted.

Code Example 3-140 listenerconfig - Adding a listener (Continued)
Choose the operation you want to perform: - NEW - Create a new listener. - EDIT - Modify a listener. - DELETE - Remove a listener. - SETUP - Change global settings. []> Example - Customizing the Host Acess Table (HAT ) for a listener via Export and Import
Many of the subcommands within the listenerconfig command allow you to import and export data in order to make large configuration changes without having to enter data piecemeal in the CLI. These steps use the CLI to modify the Host Access Table (HAT) of a listener by exporting, modifying, and importing a file. You can also use the HAT CLI editor or the GUI to customize the HAT for a listener. For more information, see the Configuring the Gateway to Receive Mail and Using Mail Flow Monitor chapters in the IronPort AsyncOS User Guide. To customize a HAT for a listener you have defined via export and import: 1. Use the hostaccess -> export subcommands of listenerconfig to export the default HAT to a file. In the following example, the HAT for the public listener InboundMail is printed, and then exported to a file named inbound.HAT.txt
Code Example 3-141 listenerconfig - Exporting the HAT

2. Outside of the Command Line Interface (CLI), get the file inbound.HAT.txt. 3. With a text editor, create new HAT entries in the file.
234
LISTENERCONFIG
In this example, the following entries are added to the HAT above the ALL entry:
spamdomain.com .spamdomain.com 251.192.1. 169.254.10.10 REJECT REJECT TCPREFUSE RELAY
The first two entries reject all connections from the remote hosts in the domain spamdomain.com and any subdomain of spamdomain.com. The third line refuses connections from any host with an IP address of 251.192.1.x. The fourth line allows the remote host with the IP address of 169.254.10.10 to use the IronPort appliance as an SMTP relay for all of its outbound email to the Internet Note The order that rules appear in the HAT is important. The HAT is read from top to bottom for each host that attempts to connect to the listener. If a rule matches a connecting host, the action is taken for that connection immediately. You should place all custom entries in the HAT above an ALL host definition. You can also use the HAT CLI editor or the GUI to customize the HAT for a listener. For more information, see the Configuring the Gateway to Receive Mail and Using Mail Flow Monitor chapters in the IronPort AsyncOS User Guide. 4. Save the file and place it in the configuration directory for the interface so that it can be imported. (See Appendix B, Accessing the Appliance, for more information.) 5. Use the hostaccess -> import subcommand of listenerconfig to import the edited Host Access Table file. In the following example, the edited file named inbound.HAT.txt is imported into the HAT for the InboundMail listener. The new entries are printed using the print subcommand.

[]> setup If a header is modified, encode the new header in the same encoding as the message body? (Some MUAs incorrectly handle headers encoded in a different encoding than the body.

[Y]> If a non-ASCII header is not properly tagged with a character set, impose the encoding of the body on the header during processing and final representation of the message? (Many MUAs create non-RFC-compliant headers that are then handled in an undefined way. Imposing the encoding of the body on the header may encode the header more precisely.)

If the system cannot combine the message body and the footer in the same encoding, do you want the system to failover and attempt to encode the entire message using the encoding of the message footer?

This section contains the following CLI commands: userconfig passord or passwd last who whoami
userconfig
Description
Add, edit, and remove users.

Usage
Commit: This command requires a commit. Cluster Management: This command is restricted to cluster mode. Batch Command: This command does not support a batch format.
Example Code Example 3-146 userconfig
example.com> userconfig
Users: 1. admin - "Administrator" (admin) Choose the operation you want to perform: - NEW - Create a new account. - EDIT - Modify an account. - DELETE - Remove an account. - PASSWORD - Change the password for a user. []> new Enter the new username. []> ljohnson Enter the full name for ljohnson. []> lee johnson Choose the group for ljohnson. 1. Administrators - Administrators have full access to all settings of the system. 2. Operators - Operators are restricted from creating new user accounts. 3. Guests - Guest users may only view status information. [1]> 1 Enter the password for ljohnson. >****** Please enter the new password again. >******* Users: 1. admin - "Administrator" (admin) 2. ljohnson - "lee johnson" (admin)
passord or passwd
Description
Change your password.

Usage
Commit: This command requires a commit. Cluster Management: This command is restricted to cluster mode. Note The passwd command is a special case because it needs to be usable by guest users who can only ever be in machine mode. If a guest user issues the passwd command on a machine in a cluster, it will not print the warning message but will instead just silently operate on the cluster level data without changing the user's mode. All other users will get the above written behavior (consistent with the other restricted configuration commands).
