How repositories work together

How repositories work together
The repositories work together in your environment to deliver updates and software to managed
systems. Depending on the size and geography of your network, you might need distributed repositories.
Figure 8-1 Sites and repositories delivering packages to systems
1
The master repository regularly pulls DAT and engine update files from the source site.
2
The master repository replicates the packages to distributed repositories in the network.
3
The managed systems in the network retrieve updates from a distributed repository. If managed
systems can't access the distributed repositories or the master repository, they retrieve updates
from the fallback site.

Ensuring access to the source site

Use these tasks to ensure that the McAfee ePO master repository, managed systems, and the McAfee
Labs Security Threats dashboard monitor can access the Internet when using the McAfeeHttp and the
McAfeeFtp sites as source and fallback sites.
This section describes the steps for configuring the McAfee ePO master repository, the McAfee Agent,
and McAfee Labs Security threats to connect to the download site directly or via a proxy. The default
selection is Do not use proxy.
