  • 1.  LUA: Is this possible?

    Posted Sep 26, 2013 12:43 AM

    Hey Guys,

    We are now working with our network team, they told us that they need to define the links the Symantec Live Update Server are passing on the firewall.

    Here is the problem: They need the IP Address of the following:

    http://liveupdate.symantecliveupdate.com:80/

    http://liveupdate.symantecliveupdate.com:80/

    ftp://update.symantec.com:21/opt/content/onramp

     

    Is it possible to get the IP of this domains? Based on what I know those domains are in dynamic IP addresses. Can anyone verify this.?

     

    Thanks,

    The servers and IP addresses associated with distribution of LiveUpdate content are subject to change at any time, without notice, in order to facilitate efficient content distribution.  Many of the factors which influence change are dynamic, so even if there is an observable pattern currently there is no guarantee it will continue in the future

    Can LiveUpdate be configured to use static IP addresses?

    from the above link

    Symantec makes LiveUpdate content available on the Internet through a partnership with the Akamai server network.  Akamai is a network of tens of thousands of servers scattered worldwide for more efficient distribution of content.  Symantec recommends specifying Symantec LiveUpdate servers via DNS name (fully qualified domain name), not via one or more static IP addresses. Use of static IP addresses to access Symantec LiveUpdate content is not supported or recommended.
