Using SMC as an Active Update distribution point

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 only for SNS firewalls in version 4.3 and higher.
