Before you begin
- Make sure that you have configured a DNS server for the domain to allow Sensors attached to this domain to download Gateway Anti-Malware Engine updates. If you have not done so, go to Devices → <Admin Domain Name> → Global → Common Device Settings → Name Resolution to configure a DNS server.
- You must be using either an NS-series Sensor running Sensor software version 9.1 or above or an NTBA Appliance to use this engine.
An update comprises the following components:
- Gateway Anti-Malware DAT and Gateway Anti-Malware Engine
- Anti-Virus DAT
- Anti-Malware Engine
The update can either be an incremental update or a full update. The full update is approximately 200 MB.
You can set up automatic updates for both these components using these steps. If you do not want to set up automatic updates, you can use the existing process for manual updates.
