Appendix A. Subscribing to Security Updates Introduction The NetDefendOS Anti-Virus (AV) module, the Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDP) module and the Dynamic Web Content Filtering module all function using external D-Link databases which contain details of the latest viruses, security threats and URL categorization. These databases are constantly being updated and to get access to the latest updates a D-Link Security Update Subscription should be taken out. This is done by: • Purchasing a subscription from your local D-Link reseller. • On purchase, you will receive a unique activation code to identify you as a user of the service. • Go to Maintenance > License in the web interface of your D-Link Firewall system and enter this activation code. NetDefendOS will indicate the code is accepted and the update service will be activated. (Make sure access to the public Internet is possible when' doing this). Note A step-by-step "Registration manual" which explains registration and update service procedures in more detail is available for download from the D-Link website. Subscription renewal In the Web-interface go to Maintenance > License to check which update services are activated and when your subscription is ends. Caution Renew your subscription in good time before your current subscription ends! Monitoring database updates In the Web-interface go to Maintenance > Update to configure the automatic database updating. You can also check when the last update was attempted and what the status was for that attempt. In the same area of the Web-interface it is also possible to manually initiate updating by selecting Update now to download the latest signatures to the database. Database Console Commands IDP and Anti-Virus (AV) databases can be controlled directly through a number of console commands. Pre-empting Database Updates An IDP database update can be forced at any time by using the command: gw-world:/> updatecenter -update IDP An Anti-Virus update can similarly be initiated with the command: gw-world:/> updatecenter -update Antivirus 338
