Chapter 1 Managing Software and Configurations
Configuring Auto Update
•
The
ipaddress
keyword specifies the
IP address of the specified interface. If the interface name is
not specified, it uses the IP address of the interface used to communicate with the Auto Update
Server.
•
The
mac-address
keyword specifies the MAC address of the specified interface. If the interface
name is not specified, it uses the MAC address of the interface used to communicate with the Auto
Update Server.
•
The
string
keyword specifies the specified text identifier, which cannot include white space or the
characters ‘, “, , >, & and ?.
Step 3
(Optional) To specify how often to poll the Auto Update Server for configuration or image updates, enter
the following command:
hostname(config)#
auto-update poll-period
poll-period
[
retry-count
[
retry-period
]]
The
poll-period
argument specifies how often (in minutes) to check for an update. The default is 720
minutes (12 hours).
The
retry-count
argument specifies how many times to try reconnecting to the server if the first attempt
fails. The default is zero.
The
retry-period
argument specifies how long to wait (in minutes) between retries. The default is five
minutes.
Step 4
(Optional) To schedule a specific time for the ASA to poll the Auto Update Server, enter the following
command:
hostname(config)#
auto-update poll-at
days-of-the-week time
[
randomize
minutes
]
[
retry_count
[
retry_period
]]
The
days-of-the-week
argument is any single day or combination of days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Other possible values are daily (Monday through Sunday),
weekdays (Monday through Friday), and weekends (Saturday and Sunday).
The
time
argument
specifies the time in the format HH:MM at which to start the poll. For example, 8:00
is 8:00 a.m. and 20:00 is 8:00 p.m.
The
randomize
minutes
keyword
and argument
specify the period to randomize the poll time following
the specified start time. The range is from 1 to 1439 minutes.
The
retry_count
argument specifies how many times to try reconnecting to the Auto Update Server if the
first attempt fails. The default is zero.
The
retry_period
argument specifies how long to wait between connection attempts. The default is five
minutes. The range is from 1 to 35791 minutes.
Step 5
(Optional) If the Auto Update Server has not been contacted for a certain period of time, entering the
following command causes it to stop passing traffic:
hostname(config)#
auto-update timeout
period
The
period
argument
specifies the timeout period in minutes between 1 and 35791. The default is to
never time out (zero minutes). To restore the default, enter the
no
form of this command.
Use the
auto-update timeout
command to be sure that the ASA has the most recent image and
configuration. This condition is reported with system log message 201008.
In the following example, an ASA is configured to poll an Auto Update Server with the IP address
209.165.200.224, at port number 1742, from the outside interface, with certificate verification.
