76 Snap Server Administrator Guide

Updating Snap Servers That Have Internet Access

Snap Servers are preconfigured to download signature updates from the CA FTP

site at ftp://ftpav.ca.com/pub/inoculan/scaneng

. If your Snap Servers 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 given

To Schedule Signature Update Downloads

Choose

Scanner > Signature Update Options

On the Schedule tab, click

Enable Scheduled Download

, and then select (a) the

initial download date and time; and (b) how often to repeat the download.

Click

To Specify a Proxy Server

Choose

Scanner > Signature Update Options

, and click the Incoming tab.

Select FTP in the list box, and click

Edit

In the Proxy Name field, enter the IP address of the proxy server, and click

UNC Use UNC to distribute signature updates from one Snap Server to another (or

from any arbitrary SMB or Windows server). Note that for UNC to work, you

must have the Enable Guest Account option set to

Yes (Security > Windows)

on the Snap Server on which the signature updates reside.

Tip

Alternatively, you can distribute updates to Snap Servers from any

Windows/SMB server. If using this method, make sure the guest account on

the chosen server exists, is enabled, and has a blank password.

Local Path As part of the procedure to provide signature updates to a Snap Server with

no Internet access, you can connect to a local path relative to the root, e.g.,

/shares/SHARE1/virusdefs.

Note that the path to the share is case sensitive.
