Synchronization of the object database with DNS servers

Support reference 66537

The automatic synchronization of the object database with DNS servers configured on the SNS firewall can now be enabled/disabled or modified in terms of synchronization frequency.

These operations can only be performed using the following CLI/serverd commands:

  • CONFIG OBJECT SYNC STATE=<0|1> to disable/enable synchronization respectively,
  • CONFIG OBJECT SYNC UPDATE period=<period> to change how frequently updates will be launched, between one minute and one day inclusive (e.g., period=6h5m4s).

These changes must be confirmed with the command CONFIG OBJECT SYNC ACTIVATE to be applied.
