#1: Update from repository based on subnet calculation
Scenario
Change the policy such that agent performs update from repository based on subnet calculation.
Details
Note 1:One or more than one HTTP, FTP or UNC repositories should exist in different subnets, which are accessible from the agent machine. The repositories should be up to date for the update to succeed.
Note 2: It is preferable if the Traceroute (‘tracert’ on Windows) distance to each repository is different, say 1, 2, and 3.
Note 3: Agent should be managing VSE with lower version of DATs when compared with DATs in repositories.
