Client
You use ASDM for system setup and monitoring of the CSC SSM. For advanced configuration of content
security policies in the CSC SSM software, you access the web-based GUI for the CSC SSM by clicking
links within ASDM. Use of the CSC SSM GUI is explained in the Trend Micro InterScan for Cisco CSC
SSM Administrator Guide.
ASDM and the CSC SSM maintain separate passwords. You can configure their passwords to be
Note
identical; however, changing one of these two passwords does not affect the other password.
The connection between the host running ASDM and the adaptive security appliance is made through a
management port on the adaptive security appliance. The connection to the CSC SSM GUI is made
through the SSM management port. Because these two connections are required to manage the CSC
SSM, any host running ASDM must be able to reach the IP address of both the adaptive security
appliance management port and the SSM management port.

management network. While use of a dedicated management network is not required, we recommend it.
Of particular interest in
• An HTTP proxy server is connected to the inside network and to the management network. This
enables the CSC SSM to contact the Trend Micro update server.
• The management port of the adaptive security appliance is connected to the management network.
To permit management of the adaptive security appliance and the CSC SSM, hosts running ASDM
must be connected to the management network.
The management network includes an SMTP server for email notifications for the CSC SSM and a
•
syslog server that the CSC SSM can send syslog messages to.
