Isaac Brandao da Costa

Hi everyone! Fine?

How can I force a client to receive the updates from a Sophos Cache server?

Regards!

    I saw this topic in a KB and I don't know how can I assign a client to a specifc update cache:

    How do devices update from a cache?

    When an Update Cache is available, all devices are configured to update from it and from Sophos.

    Every time a device updates, the IP addresses of all Update Cache devices are compared to the device's IP address. The Update Caches are ordered according to a calculated numerical distance. Then, the closest Update Cache device will be used as the update location.

    However, this can be affected by the following:

    • The device has been manually assigned to a specific Update Cache.
    • If the local Update Cache is unreachable, the next Update Cache will be evaluated and used.
    • If all Update Caches are unreachable, the device will attempt to contact Sophos Central directly.
