Triggering an immediate IPS signature update

Anytime you find a release of new signature version on the TippingPoint website, you can trigger the
device to immediately update the local signature library.
For a successful automatic update, make sure the device can resolve the IP address of the
TippingPoint website through DNS, and the device can connect to the TippingPoint website. For
more information about DNS, see Layer 3—IP Services Configuration Guide.

Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Trigger an automatic IPS signature library
update.

If the device cannot access the signature database services on the TippingPoint website, use one of
the following methods to manually update the IPS signature library on the device:
•
Local update—Updates the IPS signature library on the device by using the locally stored
update IPS signature file.
Store the update file on the correct location for successful signature library update:

For distributed devices in IRF mode, store the update file on the global active MPU.
•
FTP/TFTP update—Updates the IPS signature library on the device by using the file stored on
the FTP or TFTP server.
