To save Internet traffic, you can configure updates of application databases and modules on devices on the organization's LAN from a server repository. For this purpose, configure the download of the update package from Kaspersky update servers to the Administration Server repository (FTP, HTTP, or HTTPS server, network, or local directory) in Kaspersky Security Center. Other devices on the organization's LAN will be able to receive the update package from the server repository.
Configuring application database and module updates from the server repository consists of the following steps:
Configure the download of an update package to the Administration Server repository (the Download updates to the Administration Server repository task).
Configure application database and module updates on the remaining devices of the organization's LAN from the specified server repository (the Update task).
To configure downloading an update package to the server storage:
In the main window of Web Console, select Devices → Tasks.
The list of tasks opens.
In the list of tasks, select the Download updates to the Administration Server repository task and click the link with the task name to open the task properties window.
The Download updates to the Administration Server repository task is created automatically by the Initial Configuration Wizard for the Web Console, and may only have one instance.
In the task properties window, select the Application settings tab.
In the Other settings section, click Configure.
In the Folder for storing updates field, specify the address of FTP, HTTP, or HTTPS server, network directory or local directory where Kaspersky Security Center copies the update package received from Kaspersky update servers.
The following path format is used for update source:
For an FTP or HTTP server, enter its web address or IP address.
For example, http://dnl-01.geo.kaspersky.com/ or 93.191.13.103.
For an FTP server, specify the authentication settings within the address in the following format: ftp://<user name>:<password>@<node>:<port>.
For a network or local directory enter the full path to the directory.
Click OK.
Click Save.
To configure application updates from a specified server storage:
In the main window of Web Console, select Devices → Tasks.
The list of tasks opens.
In the list of tasks, select the Update task for Kaspersky Endpoint Security and click the link with the task name to open the task properties window.
The Update task is created automatically by the Web Console Quick Start Wizard. To create the Update task, install Kaspersky Endpoint Security web plug-in while running the Wizard.
In the task properties window, select the Application settings tab.
In the list on the left, select the Database update source section.
The task settings are displayed in the right part of the window.
In the Database updates source section, select the Other sources on the local or global network option.
In the table of update sources, click the Add button.
In the Update source field, specify the address of the FTP, HTTP, or HTTPS server, or network or local directory where Kaspersky Security Center copies the update package received from Kaspersky update servers.
The address of the update source must match the address you specified in the Folder for storing updates field when configuring the download of updates to the server storage (see the instructions above).
Select the Use this source check box and click OK.
In the table, set the order of the update sources using the Up and Down buttons.
Click Save.
If an update cannot be performed from the first update source, the application automatically switches to the next source.
