The “Online Update” section displays the current feed identification number, and allows you to force a plugin update by clicking “Update Plugins”. If a plugin update fails for any reason (e.g., network connectivity interruption), Nessus will retry 10 minutes later. The “Offline Update” section allows you to specify a plugin archive for processing. For more details on offline updating, consult the “Nessus without Internet Access” section later in this document. The legacy client use via the NTP protocol is supported by Nessus 5, but only available to ProfessionalFeed customers.
