System Software
The System Software pane lets you configure the parameters of security appliances configured as Auto
Update clients when this security appliance is acting as an Auto Update server.
As an Auto Update server, you can specify the platform and ASDM images for security appliances
configured as Auto Update clients, including image revision numbers and locations, according to the
device ID, device family, or device type of the client.
The Auto Update specification provides the infrastructure necessary for remote management
applications to download security appliance configurations, software Images, and to perform basic
monitoring from a centralized location.
As an Auto Update server, the specification allows the Auto Update server to either push configuration
information and send requests for information to the security appliance, or to pull configuration
information by causing the security appliance to periodically poll the Auto Update server. The Auto
Update server can also send a command to the security appliance to send an immediate polling request
at any time. Communication between the Auto Update server and the security appliance requires a
communications path and local CLI configuration on each security appliance.
Fields
The Client Update pane consists of the following fields:
• Enable Client Update—Check to allow the security appliance to update the images used by other
security appliances that are configured as Auto Update clients.
• Client Images table—lets you view previously-configured Client Update entries and includes the
following columns:
–
Device—Displays a text string corresponding to a device-id of the client.
–
Device Family—Displays the family name of a client, either asa, pix, or a text string.
