Trend Micro™ InterScan™ Web Security Virtual Appliance 6.5 Installation Guide
C-8
• For installations with Transparent Bridge mode on VMWare ESX, the external
interface of IWSVA will connect to a virtual switch which binds to a physical
network adapter. It is better not to connect any other virtual machine to this virtual
switch and leave the virtual machine dedicate for IWSVA usage.
• After installing IWSVA, always check the Trend Micro download site for additional
critical patches and/or service packs to ensure that the latest patches are installed.
Patches listed on the IWSVA Download site are listed in chronological order.
Always apply the latest application and OS patches to your specific version. IWSVA
service packs are backwardly compatible. That is, the latest service pack will always
contain any hot fixes and patches issued prior to the service pack's release date. You
do not need to install previous patches before the latest applicable service pack for
your product. IWSVA may have the following patch types:
• Application Service Pack - a service pack or patch that is used to update the
IWSVA application. The latest service pack will contain all previously released
patches.
• OS Service Pack - a service pack or patch that is used to update the operating
system and driver files. The latest service pack will contain all previously
released patches.
• Critical Patch - a patch that is used to fix an urgent application or OS problem
and will not contain previous patches. It is only issued to fix a specific problem.
