Updating SnapServers that have Internet Access
If your SnapServers have direct access to the Internet, you only need to schedule the
downloads to set up automatic signature updates. If access to the Internet is routed
through a proxy server, you may also need to specify the name of the proxy server.
Both procedures are explained below:
To Schedule Signature Update Downloads
1 Choose Scanner > Signature Update Options.
2 On the Schedule tab, click Enable Scheduled Download. Select the initial
download date and time, then select how often to repeat the download.
3 Click OK.
To Specify a Proxy Server
1 Navigate to Scanner > Signature Update Options, and click the Incoming tab.
2 Select FTP in the list box, then click Edit.
3 In the Proxy Name field, enter the IP address of the proxy server, then click OK.
Updating a SnapServer that does not have Internet Access
If you have SnapServers that do not have Internet access, use the following
procedures to download the signature files to a machine with Internet access and
then copy them to the SnapServer.
Note When retrieving signature updates, the antivirus software attempts to connect
to all the sites in the site list in the order they are listed. To avoid delays or
superfluous error messages, delete the default FTP option from the list on
SnapServers that have no Internet access.
1 Using a workstation with Internet access, go to ftp://ftpav.ca.com/pub/
inoculan/scaneng and download the following files.
•All *.tar files containing the word Linux, e.g., fi_Linux_i386.tar and
ii_Linux_i386.tar
•All *.txt files containing the string Sig, e.g., Siglist.txt and Siglist2.txt
2 Using a method appropriate to your environment, copy the update files to the
SnapServer.
3 Navigate to Scanner > Signature Update Options, and click the Incoming tab.
4 Click the Add button, then select Local Path from the Method pull-down menu.
