Update mirror

Several ESET security products (ESET PROTECT, ESET Endpoint Antivirus, etc.) allow you to create copies of the update files to update other workstations on the network. The use of a mirror— a copy of the update files in the LAN environment—is convenient because the update files do not need to be downloaded from the vendor update server repeatedly by each workstation. Updates are downloaded to the local mirror server and then distributed to all workstations to avoid the risk of network traffic overload. Updating client workstations from a mirror optimizes network load balance and saves internet connection bandwidth.

Configure ESET Endpoint Antivirus for Linux to use an update mirror

1.In ESET PROTECT, click Policies > New policy and type a name for the policy.

2.Click Settings and select ESET Endpoint for Linux (V7+) from the drop-down menu.

4.In the Basic section, click the toggle next to Choose automatically to turn it off.

5.In the Update server field, type the URL address of the mirror server in one of the following forms:

•http://<IP>:<port>/<path_to_update_folder>

•http://<hostname>:<port>/<path_to_update_folder>

6.Type the applicable username and password.

7.Click Continue > Assign, select the desired group of computers the policy will apply to.
