3. Submit and commit your changes.

The 

updateconfig

 command is used to configure update and upgrade settings, such as 

where the appliance looks for service updates and AsyncOS upgrades. The settings you 
configure using the 

updateconfig

 command are the same as you can define in the web 

interface. For more information on these settings, see Table 22-4 on page 524.

Note — You can use the 

ping

 command to ensure that the appliance can contact the local 

server. You can also use the 

telnet

 command to telnet to port 80 of the local server to ensure 

the local server is listening on that port. 

By default, each security service component periodically receives updates to its database 
tables from the IronPort update servers. However, you can manually update the database 
tables. 

Typically, you do not need to manually update to the database tables. In the event a manual 
update is required, you can modify default settings and configure an update using the options 
on the System Administration > Upgrade and Update Settings page.

To configure a manual update:

1. Navigate to the System Administration > Upgrade and Update Settings page.

2. Click Edit Update Settings.

The Edit Update Settings page appears.

3. Receive the update files from IronPort and install them on a local server.

4. Specify the location of the update files.

Automatic Updates

Choose whether or not to enable automatic updates of the security 
components. If you choose automatic updates, enter the time 
interval. The default is enabled and the update interval is 5 
minutes.

Routing Table

Choose which network interface’s routing table to use when 
contacting the update servers. The available proxy data interfaces 
are shown. Default is Management.

Proxy Server (optional)

If an upstream proxy server exists and requires authentication, 
enter the server information and user name and password here.
