Updating the Attack Object Database

changeable firmware that runs on IDP Sensors, optional security modules for the ISG
Series Integrated Security Gateways and IDP-capable devices.
The following sections explain how to manage the attack object database:
Updating the Attack Object Database on page 288
Verifying the Attack Object Database Version on page 291
Updating the IDP Detector Engine on page 293
Example: Confirm IDP Engine Version on page 294
Scheduling Security Updates on page 294
You can update the attack object database for managed devices that have deep
inspection or IDP capabilities.
For devices running ScreenOS version 5.0.0-IDP1, ScreenOS 5.1 and later, or standalone
IDP, or supported versions of JUNOS, you must download new attack objects from the
attack object database server to the GUI Server, and then download the new objects
to your managed devices. IDP attack objects are loaded automatically when an IDP
rulebase is loaded; DI attack objects must be loaded manually.
For devices running ScreenOS version 5.0, you must configure the devices to contact
the attack object database server, and then prompt the devices to download new
attack objects from the server.
To update a managed device with new DI attack objects, you must first obtain a DI
subscription for your device. For details, see "Activating Subscription Services" on page 287.

Updating Attack Objects for IDP-Enabled devices

You can update attack objects by downloading new attack objects and a new detector
engine from the attack object database server to the GUI Server, then downloading the
new objects to your managed devices.
You can perform a network update if the NSM GUI Server has an Internet connection,
either directly or through a proxy. During a network update, the GUI Server contacts the
Attack Object Database server (managed by Juniper Networks) and automatically
downloads the necessary attack object files.
You can perform a local update if the GUI Server does not have Internet connectivity or
you do not want to perform a network update. To prepare for a local update, you manually
download the attack objects files from the Attack Object Database server (managed by
Juniper Networks), then copy these files to a local directory on the GUI Server. Then,
during the local update, you specify the path to these files.
Preparing for a Local Update
Complete the following steps before you perform a local update:
