Using SMC as an Active Update distribution point

WARNING
Folder administrators whose read access privileges are restricted to certain folders on SMC cannot perform this operation. For more information, refer to the section Restricting folder administrators' access privileges.

SNS firewalls include the Active Update feature, which queries Stormshield update servers to download the latest databases (context-based signatures, antivirus, Vulnerability Manager, etc.).

If your SNS firewalls are not connected to the Internet, they cannot access Stormshield update servers. If this is the case, you can use SMC as an Active Update distribution point and therefore upload updated databases to the internal network.

This feature is compatible with SNS firewalls from version 4.3 upwards.
