Updating from a server repository

To conserve Internet traffic, you can configure updates of databases and application modules on computers of the organization's LAN from a server repository. For this purpose, Kaspersky Security Center must download an update package to the repository (FTP, HTTP, or HTTPS server, network or local directory) from Kaspersky update servers. Other computers on the organization's LAN will be able to receive the update package from the server repository.

Configuring database and application module updates from a server repository consists of the following steps:

1. Configure download of an update package to the Administration Server repository (Download updates to the Administration Server repository task).
2. Configure database and application module updates from the specified server repository to the remaining computers on the organization's LAN (Update task).

To configure download of an update package to the server repository:

1. In the main window of Web Console, select Devices → Tasks.

   The list of tasks opens.

2. Select the Download updates to the Administration Server repository task.

   The task properties window opens.

   The Download updates to the Administration Server repository task is created automatically by the Initial Configuration Wizard of Kaspersky Security Center Web Console, and this task may only have one single instance.

3. Select the Application settings tab.
4. In the Other settings section, click Configure.
5. 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.
6. Click OK.
7. Confirm your changes by clicking Save.

To configure Kaspersky Endpoint Security update from the specified server storage:

1. In the main window of Web Console, select Devices → Tasks.

   The list of tasks opens.

2. Select the Update task for Kaspersky Endpoint Security.

   The task properties window opens.

   The Update task is created automatically by the Initial Configuration Wizard of Kaspersky Security Center Web Console. To create the Update task, install the Kaspersky Endpoint Security 10.1.4 for Linux ARM64 Edition web plug-in while running the Wizard.

3. Select the Application settings tab → Database update source.
4. Select the Other sources on the local network or the global network option.
5. In the list of update sources, click the Add button.
6. In the Update source field, specify the address of the FTP, HTTP, or HTTPS server, network directory or local directory where Kaspersky Security Center will copy the update package received from Kaspersky servers.

   The address of the update source must match the address you specified in the Folder for storing updates field when you configured download of updates to the server storage (see the instruction above).

7. Select the Use this source check box. Click OK.
8. Configure the priorities of update sources by using the Move up and Move down buttons.
9. Click the Save button.

If an update cannot be performed from the first update source, Kaspersky Endpoint Security automatically switches over to the next source.
