Deploying Software and Updates
Checking in packages manually
How agents select repositories
By default, agents can attempt to update from any repository in the repository list file. The
agent can use a network ICMP ping or subnet address compare algorithm to find the distributed
repository with the quickest response time. Usually, this is the distributed repository closest to
the system on the network.
You can also tightly control which distributed repositories agents use for updating by enabling
or disabling distributed repositories in the agent policy settings. McAfee does not recommend
disabling repositories in the policy settings. Allowing agents to update from any distributed
repository ensures they receive the updates.
