An essential element to a reliable IPS is updating the system signature and software images. Trellix periodically releases new Manager software and Sensor signature and software images, and makes these updates available via the Trellix IPS Update Server to registered support customers.

Manager software installation includes a default signature set image.
There are several options for loading updates to your Manager and Sensors.
Download images from the Trellix IPS Update Server (Update Server) to your Manager.
You can use the Manager interface to download Sensor software and signature updates from the Update Server to the Manager server, and then download the Sensor image to the Sensor. For more information, see the Manager Administration section.
Import image files from a remote workstation to your Manager.
If your Manager server is not connected to the Internet, you can download the updates from the Update Server to any host, then do one of the following:
Download the image to a remote host, then log in to the Manager via browser session on the remote host and import the image to the Manager server. You can then download the Sensor image to the Sensor. For more information, see the Manager Administration section.
Similar to above, download the image from the Update Server to any host, put it on a disk, take the disk to the Manager server, and then import the image and download it to the Sensor.
Download Sensor software from the Update Server to a TFTP client then to a Sensor.
You can download the software image from the Update Server onto a TFTP server, and then download the image directly to the Sensor using commands on the Sensor CLI. This is useful if you prefer not to update Sensor software via the Manager, or you may encounter a situation wherein you cannot do so. For more information on this method, see the Manager Administration section.
