Mirror

Mirror is available in two versions:

• mirror as a shared network folder

• mirror as an HTTP server

and its setup is available from NOD32 Control

Center.

When you create the Mirror as an HTTP server, one PC

serves for downloading updates from Eset`s servers, and

as a NOD32 update server for the other workstations in

the LAN at the same time. This version is easier to con-

gure and is not limited by the number of licenses of the

le server, which is required by the rst version for access

to the shared folder.

HTTP Server is a direct part of NOD32 2.5 administra-

tor version and by default runs on port 8081.

If the Mirror is created as a shared folder, then its prin-

ciple lies in distribution of updates across the network,

using a shared network folder. In contrast to the rst me-

thod (HTTP server), a computer creating a Mirror does not

have to be a server, to which the other workstations con-

nect to download updates at the same time.

Figure 1 Principle of a Mirror: The company server downloads updates from the Internet, and workstati

ons update from this local server. The Mirror thus decreases trac across your Internet connection, becau-

se the workstations download update les from the local server, and not from the Internet. Update pro-

cess is initialized by Mirror server (Update from the Internet) and workstations (update from Mirror Ser-

ver) in regular intervals.
