Signature Updates Method Description 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 enabled (Network > Windows) on the Snap Server on which the signature updates reside. Note 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. Updating Snap Servers that have Internet Access 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 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. 116 Snap Server Administrator Guide
