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

There are several options for loading updates to your Manager and Sensors.
Download latest software and signature updates from the 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 updates to the Sensor.
Import update files from a remote workstation to your Manager
If your Manager server is not connected to the Internet, you can download signature and software updates from the Download Server to any host by doing one of the following:
Download the update to a host, then log in to the Manager and import the update to the Manager server. You can then download the update to the Sensor.
Similar to above, download the update from the Download Server to any host, put it on a disk, take the disk to the Manager server, and then import the update and download it to the Sensor.
For more information, see Trellix Intrusion Prevention System Product Guide.
Download software from the Update Server to a TFTP client and then download to a Sensor
You can download software images from the Download Server onto a TFTP server, and then download the software directly to the Sensor using Sensor CLI commands. This is useful if you are unable or prefer not to update Sensor software via the Manager. This method is described in the Trellix Intrusion Prevention System Installation Guide.
