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, Kaspersky Security Center must download the update package from Kaspersky update servers to the repository (FTP, HTTP, or HTTPS server, network or local directory). 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:

  1. Configure the download of an update package to the Administration Server repository (the Download updates to the Administration Server repository task).
  2. 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:

  1. Open the Administration Console of Kaspersky Security Center.
  2. Select the Tasks folder in the Administration Console tree.

    The list of tasks opens.

  3. In the list of tasks, select the Download updates to the Administration Server repository task, or create it, if it has not been created, and open the task properties window by double-clicking the task.
  4. In the task properties window, select the Settings section in the list on the left.

    The task settings are displayed in the right part of the window.

  5. Click the Configure link in the Other settings section to open the Other settings window.
  6. In the Folder for storing updates 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 in the following format:
    • 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.
  7. Click OK in the Other settings window.
  8. Click Apply.

To configure updates of Kaspersky Endpoint Security from a specified server storage:

  1. Open the Administration Console of Kaspersky Security Center.
  2. Select the Tasks folder in the Administration Console tree.

    The list of tasks opens.

  3. In the list of tasks, select the Update task for Kaspersky Endpoint Security and double-click to open the task properties window.

    The Update task is created automatically by the Quick Start Wizard.

  4. In the task properties window, select the Update sources section in the list on the left.

    The task settings are displayed in the right part of the window.

  5. In the Database updates source section, select the Other sources on the local or global network option.
  6. In the table of update sources, click the Add button.
  7. 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 instruction above).

  8. Select the Use this source check box and click OK.
  9. Configure the priorities of update sources using the Move up and Move down buttons.
  10. Click Apply.

If an update cannot be performed from the first update source, the application automatically switches to the next source.
