Working With Source And Fallback Sites; Switching Source And Fallback Sites - McAfee EPOLICY ORCHESTRATOR 4.0.2 Product Manual

Creating Repositories

Working with source and fallback sites

If your server does not need a proxy to access the Internet, select Don't use proxy
settings, then click OK.
3 Next to Proxy authentication, configure the settings as appropriate, depending on
whether you pull updates from HTTP repositories, FTP repositories, or both.
4 Next to Proxy server, select whether to use one proxy server for all communication, or
different proxy servers for HTTP and FTP proxy servers. Then type the Address (IP address
or fully-qualified domain name) and the Port number of the proxy server.
NOTE: If you are using the default source and fallback sites, or if you configure another
HTTP source site and FTP fallback site (or vice versa), configure both HTTP and FTP proxy
authentication information here.
5 Next to Exclusions, select Bypass Local Addresses then specify any distributed
repositories to which the server can connect directly by typing the IP addresses or
fully-qualified domain name of those systems separated by semi-colons.
6 Click OK to save these settings.
Working with source and fallback sites
Use these tasks to change the default source and fallback sites. You must be a global
administrator to define, change, or delete source or fallback sites. You can edit settings, delete
existing source and fallback sites, or switch between them.
McAfee recommends using the default source and fallback sites. If you require different sites
for this purpose, you can create new ones.
