In relatively small networks, where every computer has unlimited access to
the internet, each computer could pull the update files directly from the
Network Associates FTP update site. However, such an approach is impractical
in situations where some computers do not have access to the internet, and
inefficient in situations where many computers are all downloading files from
a remote, external source, such as the Network Associates FTP site.

A typical approach to updating on networks that are managed by the ePolicy
Orchestrator software involves the creation of one or more mirror sites on your
network. Each mirror site replicates the directory on the Network Associates
FTP site that contains the .DAT files. The computers on your network then
download the update files from a mirror site. This approach is practical because
it permits updating of any computer on your network whether or not it has
internet access, and efficient because your workstations are communicating
with a server that is probably closer than a Network Associates FTP server,
thus economizing access and download time.

If you are planning to use mirrored sites on your network, you must:
•
Configure the AutoUpdate task and the Mirroring task. The order in
which you configure these tasks is not important.
