Databases used on V-Series appliances
Help | V-Series Appliance | v8.2.x
TRITON software handles Internet and email activity based on your active policies and information stored in databases that must be updated at regular intervals.
*
Residing in the TRITON AP-WEB or Web Filter & Security module of the appliance, the Master Database contains URL category information and protocol definitions. It is managed by Filtering Service. Administrators can control how often the database is updated, and whether or not partial, real-time updates are applied between full updates. (See The Master Database for details.)
A limited, initial version of the Master Database is pre-installed on the appliance. Download the full Master Database as soon as possible to enable comprehensive Internet security capabilities. See the V-Series Getting Started Guide after you complete initial setup of the appliance.
When TRITON AP-EMAIL is deployed with a web protection solution, the Email module can query the Master Database to get the category of URLs embedded in email content.
*
Content Gateway analytic and categorization options rely on a set of databases installed with software. The software checks for updates to these databases at a regular interval. Updates to these databases occur independently of all Master URL Database updates.
Every time you restart the appliance or the Content Gateway module, a download of these small databases is initiated. If that download fails, a new download is attempted every 15 minutes until a successful download occurs.
*
TRITON AP-EMAIL uses a configurable set of antispam and antivirus databases. The software checks for updates to these databases at a regular interval. You can initiate updates manually from within the Email console.
