Take note of the following:
• Assign computers with server capabilities, such as a web server, SQL server, or FTP
server, as reference servers. You can specify a maximum of 32 reference servers.
• Clients connect to the first reference server on the reference server list. If
connection cannot be established, the client tries connecting to the next server on
the list.
• OfficeScan clients only use reference servers when determining the firewall profile
or the web reputation policy to use. Reference servers do not manage clients or
deploy updates and client settings. The OfficeScan server performs these tasks.
• A client cannot send logs to reference servers or use them as update sources
To manage the reference server list:
PATH: NETWORKED COMPUTERS > FIREWALL > PROFILES
NETWORKED COMPUTERS > COMPUTER LOCATION
1. If you are on the Firewall Profiles for Networked Computers screen, click Edit
Reference Server List.
If you are on the Computer Location screen, click reference server list.
2. Select Enable the Reference Server list.
3. To add a computer to the list, click Add.
a. Specify the computer's IPv4/IPv6 address, name, or fully qualified domain
name (FQDN), such as:
• computer.networkname
• 12.10.10.10
• mycomputer.domain.com
b. Type the port through which clients communicate with this computer. Specify
any open contact port (such as ports 20, 23 or 80) on the reference server.
Note: To specify another port number for the same reference server, repeat steps
2a and 2b. The client uses the first port number on the list and, if
connection is unsuccessful, uses the next port number.
c. Click Save.
