(Optional) To identify the device ID to send when communicating with the AUS, enter the following
Step 2
command:
hostname(config)# auto-update device-id {hardware-serial | hostname | ipaddress [if-name]
| mac-address [if-name] | string text}
The device ID used is determined according to one of the following parameters:
hardware-serial—Use the FWSM serial number.
•
hostname—Use the FWSM hostname.
•
ipaddress—Use the IP address of the specified interface. If the interface name is not specified, the
•
device uses the IP address of the interface used to communicate with the AUS.
mac-address—Use the MAC address of the specified interface. If the interface name is not
•
specified, the device uses the MAC address of the interface used to communicate with the AUS.
string—Use the specified text identifier, which cannot contain white space or the characters ', ", ,
•
>, & and ?.
(Optional) To specify how often to poll the AUS for configuration or image updates, enter the following
Step 3
command:
hostname(config)# auto-update poll-period poll-period [retry-count [retry-period]]
The poll-period argument specifies how often (in minutes) to check for an update. The default is 720
minutes (12 hours).
The retry-count argument specifies how many times to try reconnecting to the server if the first attempt
fails. The default is 0.
The retry-period argument specifies how long to wait (in minutes) between retries. The default is 5.
(Optional) If the Auto Update Server has not been contacted for a certain period of time, the following
Step 4
command will cause it to cease passing traffic:
hostname(config)# auto-update timeout period
Where period specifies the timeout period in minutes between 1 and 35791. The default is to never time
out (0). To restore the default, enter the no form of this command.
Use this command to ensure that the FWSM has the most recent image and configuration. This condition
is reported with system log message 201008.
In the following example, a FWSM is configured to poll an AUS with IP address 209.165.200.224, at
port number 1742, from the outside interface, with certificate verification.
The FWSM is also configured to use the hostname of the FWSM as the device ID, and the polling period
has been decreased from the default of 720 minutes to 600 minutes. On a failed polling attempt, the
FWSM will try to reconnect to the AUS 10 times, and wait 3 minutes between attempts at reconnecting.
