  1. Web Security Virtual Appliance Technical Overview for SEs AsyncOS 7.7.5 for Web January 7, 2013

  2. New Features in this Release Getting Set Up & Operating Your Virtual WSA(s) Q&A Agenda

  3. What is Penglai (AsyncOS 7.7.5 for Web)? • Virtual form factor of Web Security Appliance (WSA) • Functionally equivalent to a hardware WSA running Pikes Peak (AsyncOS 7.7.0). Major features in AsyncOS 7.7 are: • Multi-NTLM Forest Support • SOCKS proxy support • Plus benefits of running a VM: • One license (digital certificate), unlimited VMs • Self-service provisioning – you can provision & activate new VMs, fully loaded with your licensed feature keys, whenever you want • This beta program will be focused on testing the VM features only

  4. Hypervisor & Hardware Requirements • Hypervisor: VMware ESXi 4.x or 5.0 • Hardware: Cisco UCS (officially supported), other vendors (best-effort support) • There are 3 standard VM images (corresponding to HW models in capacity). Allocate HW resources based on the VM image you download & the matrix below:

  5. Four Easy Steps for Setting Up a Virtual WSA • Make sure the XML license that was emailed to you is ready • Download the VM • Unzip the VM & deploy it with vSphere • Run System Setup Wizard

  6. Start by Downloading the VM File Download the VM file from the Cisco Software Download Center, under the Cisco Web Security Appliance. • Download the file for the model you want: • S000V: coeus-X-Y-X-070-S000V.zip • S100V: coeus-X-Y-X-070-S100V.zip • S300V: coeus-X-Y-X-070-S300V.zip • Zipped OVF (Open Virtualization Format) • Sample contents for S100V zip file: coeus-X-Y-X-070-S100V.zip • coeus-X-Y-X-070-S100V.ovf • coeus-X-Y-X-070-S100V-disk1.vmdk • coeus-X-Y-X-070-S100V.mf

  7. Next: Deploy the VM Uncompress the zip file to a designated file path (e.g. C:\WSAV\S000V_pristine) • If you want to run multiple VMs, use vSphere’s native cloning capabilities or duplicate the zip directory. Cloning must be done before the appliance’s first run. You can also download a pristine image later if you want more VMs. • Follow the process below for each VM: • With a connected vSphere client, click to select the host or cluster you want to have the image deployed • Choose File-->Deploy OVF Template. • Enter the path of the OVF file, click Next • Follow the wizard to finish the deployment

  8. Next: Load Your License File • XML file – looks like picture here • Can be applied to multiple VMs (reusable) • Apply during System Setup Wizard for each VM • Has customer ID, feature keys (Web Reputation, Web Usage Controls, Antivirus signatures) & expiration date embedded • If you purchase new feature keys, a new license is issued • When license expires, all functionality stops – including proxy • You will receive multiple alerts as expiry is approaching

  9. Next: Install the License File • From the console, note the IP address of the appliance • From SSH or telnet, login to the virtual appliance with admin/ironport • Enter loadlicense, then • Input the license file by pasting its contents and pressing Ctrl-D, OR • Load the license file that has been uploaded to the virtual appliance via FTP (covered in next slide)

  10. Loading the License via FTP or SCP • Use FTP to transfer license file to appliance: • ftp to appliance with admin/ironport • cd into directory configuration • putlicense.xml • exit • OR use SCP to copy license file to appliance: • scplicense.xml admin@<IP>:configuration

  11. Finishing Setup After Loading License File • Read and agree to the EULA • Enter showlicense to view the license details • Log on to the web UI (http://<IP>:8080) and run the System Setup Wizard • You are now ready to import your configuration

  12. Importing your Configuration If you are configuring your Virtual WSA from scratch,ignore this step • If you provided your config file for migration, you should have received a Config File for your Virtual WSA from the beta team • We will have an automated config migration tool available when we release • Copy the config file to your new WSAV (Virtual WSA): • scpmy_config_file.xmladmin@new_WSAV:configuration • Load the config file on your new WSAV: • loadconfigmy_config_file.xml

  13. New and modified CLI commands

  14. New CLI commands: loadlicense loadlicense • Reads a license file from a file or cut and paste • Verifies the validity of the license • Creates and installs the new feature keys • Removes old feature keys

  15. New CLI commands: showlicense Showlicense • Show data about current license, including expiry date vm10c02esa0120.eng> showlicense Virtual License =============== vln VLNWSA171717 begin_date Sun Jan 15 00:00:00 2012 GMT end_date Sat Jan 15 16:06:49 2028 GMT company Ironport Test Company seats 17 serial 12B email cstillso@ironport.com issue fe8f1761f1a94463bc9ddbcf03569805 license_version 1.0

  16. Modified CLI commands: version Version • For virtual appliances, this command will show CPU and memory of appliance, along with limits

  17. Modified CLI commands: ipcheck ipcheck • Platform • Serial No. • RAM reported in MB

  18. Modified CLI Commands: featurekey Featurekey All feature keys currently active on appliance & remaining time on license
