Configuring bandwidth throttling on Standalone or Integrated Smart Scan Server in OfficeScan (OSCE)

The default values of bandwidth throttling are:

MAX_UPDATE_CONNECTION = 5
UPDATE_WAIT_SECOND = 15

Where:

MAX_UPDATE_CONNECTION = maximum number of connections allowed to download FULL BF.ptn
UPDATE_WAIT_SECOND = number of seconds to wait before the next MAX_UPDATE_CONNECTION will become available.

To modify the bandwidth throttling values, perform the following:

Stand-Alone Smart Scan Server

1. Log in to the Stand-Alone Smart Protection Server using the root account. Note: You may connect to the server via "ssh", provided that it is enabled.
2. Go to the /var/tmcss/conf directory.
3. Edit the ptngrowth.ini file using vi.

   vi /var/tmcss/conf/ptngrowth.ini

4. Modify the values below:

   MAX_UPDATE_CONNECTION=
   UPDATE_WAIT_SECOND=

    

   Values can range from 0 to 2147483647.

   To help you properly set the values above, you may use the following data as reference:

   NETWORK BANDWIDTH	100 Mbps, Throughput = 12 MB/s	10 Mbps, Throughput = 1.2 MB/s
   MAX_UPDATE_CONNECTION	5	1
   UPDATE_WAIT_SECOND	15	20
   When all 1000 updates will be finished	50 mins	5.5 hours

5. Save and close the file.
6. Issue the commands below:
   • -bash-3.2# killall -HUP VSAPIInfo
   • -bash-3.2# service lighttpd restart

   UPDATE_WAIT_SECOND=

    

   Values can range from 0 to 2147483647.
