  • 1.  IP address for liveupdate.symantecliveupdate.com?

    Posted Dec 06, 2016 03:54 AM

    Does anyone know what the IP address is for the following Symantec URL:

     

    liveupdate.symantecliveupdate.com

     

    A customers firewall team needs the information to add to the firewall rules.

    Scenario:

    UMC server installed and accessible. Liveupdate settings not connecting to internet.

     

    Any help will be appreciated.

     

    Thanks in advance

    As we use AKAMAI server network for content distribution, there is no certain IP address range that can be used for configuring firewall rules. The Akamai network of servers consists of tens of thousands of servers which host publically accessible information.  Instead of using IP addresses to create firewall rules to permit traffic, rules should allow connections to the following domains:

    Liveupdate cannot connect to server - What IP-s (IP addresses) should be configured as Firewall and Proxy exceptions to enable LiveUpdate?
