  • Table 10-1 maps major headings to quiz questions for quick review
  • AsyncOS is the underlying operating system for Cisco Secure Web Appliance, Cisco Secure Email, and Cisco SMA
  • AVC engine analyzes and categorizes unknown URLs, blocks websites, and determines risk levels
  • Deployment modes for Cisco Secure Web Appliance include transparent and explicit forward modes
  • Mail transfer agent (MTA), mail delivery agent (MDA), mail user agent (MUA), and mail submission agent (MSA) are components of email systems
  • Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) operates as the mail server
  • Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) components such as the Mail Delivery Agent (MDA) deliver emails to recipient mailboxes

  • Supports file sandboxing for analysis of suspicious files

Cisco Secure Web Appliance Modes

  • Explicit forward mode: Client traffic is explicitly directed to the proxy, bypassing standard DNS resolution
  • Transparent mode: Client is unaware of the proxy, which handles requests transparently; often uses protocol like WCCP for traffic redirection

Cisco Secure Web Appliance Interfaces

  • M1 (management): Used for managing the appliance
  • P1/P2 (data/proxy interfaces): Required when utilizing two interfaces for web proxy traffic on different subnets. Can be combined with M1 interface.
