If you want to download specific rulesets or updates from external servers, you can configure members and corresponding interfaces to receive updates automatically. Note that these members must have access to external servers. The interface that you configure here must be specified when you set up external servers.

To delegate automatic updates to a Grid member or change the interface for downloads, complete the following:

1. From the Grid tab, select the Grid Manager tab, and then click Edit -> Grid Properties from the Toolbar.
2. In the Grid Properties editor, select the Proxy Settings tab -> Basic tab, and complete the following:
   • In the Members table, click the Add icon and select Add Member. In the Member Selector, select the member to which you want to delegate the automatic update function. The appliance adds the Grid member to the table. You can add up to five members for automatic updates. When you add multiple members, you can place the selected members in the order you prefer using the arrows next to the table. If for any reasons the first member is unable to receive updates, the appliance goes down the list in the order the members are placed until the next reachable member receives the updates.
   • Click the Interface column, and from the drop-down list select the interface (Any, LAN2, MGMT or VIP) you want the corresponding member to use for automatic updates. Ensure that the selected interface is configured properly on the member. The default is Any, which maps to the LAN1 interface for all appliance models, except for the PT models. For all PT appliances, Any maps to the MGMT interface. You can select MGMT or Any for threat protection members. Note that VLANs are not supported.
     You can click the Test connectivity to all members icon to ensure that the connectivity between the ruleset download web site and all Grid members is properly established using the selected interface. The appliance displays a message indicating the connectivity status in the feedback panel.
   The table displays the following:
   • Name: Displays the member name. For the Grid Master, this field displays Grid Master.
   • Interface: Displays the selected interface that is used for automatic updates.
