Hi Guys , I know how GUP works and what are the diffrent types and the mehacinism it uses to do the download and how we can configure it. However there is a particular scenerio I am trying to understand as how thing will work exactly in such kind of configuration . Would appreciate your expert opinions and suggestion in such scenerio.

Group A contains the following subnets 192.168.1.0 -x.x.3.0 , 10.1.1.1.0 - x.x.3.0 . Have the following options enabled for this group ( Multiple GUP= 192.168.1.1, 10.1.1.1)

Group B contains the following subnets 192.168.9.0 - x.x.11.0 , 10.9.9.0 - x.x.11.0 . Having the following options enabled for this group ( Multiple GUP= 192.168.9.1 and 10.9.9.9.1 )

Now since each local subnet dont have any multiple GUP in their own local subnet so that will be using GUP mappings to obtain content definations . 

Now as you can see that each subnet has two explict GUP mapping each ? Now what would be the precedence for the local subnet to pickup explict GUP since for each subnet we have two explicit GUP mappings ? 

Would it pick the explicit GUP in the order it is defined ( match the top entry) or the Explicit GUP that is defined first and ignore the below entry for the same local subnet and explicit GUP mapping entry? and in case if the first explicit GUP is not reachable it will try the second for same local subnet ( Failover)

What would be the logic here ?

Thanks

Any 1 ?

Local Gup always takes the precedense

Rafeeq can you please read my above post carefully. There is no local GUP in this scenerio. This scenerio is especially crafted keeping into conisderation local GUP is always preffered. Thanks 

i dont know how to explain this,

AFAIK, you first need to define a local then map it as explicit

Rafeeq the GUP is already defined as a multiple GUP ( it has been already specified ).

What I need to know is would it pick the explicit GUP defined first in the list or just randomly since the local subnet has two explicit GUP mappings.

Hello,

If all types of Group Update Providers are configured in the policies on a Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager, then clients try to connect to Group Update Providers in the global list in the following order:

Top down execution of GUP providers.

• Providers on the Multiple Group Update Providers list, in order

• Providers on the Explicit Group Update Providers list, in order

• The Provider that is configured as a Single Group Update Provider

Thanks for the reply Mithun but I already know this information . I would really appreciate if you can first read my question carefully to understand as what I have asked exactly. Regards 

This is what I founded in the Tech Note 

Providers on the Explicit Group Update Providers list, in order

So I believe it is the order top one will be picked up first.

Q. Now as you can see that each subnet has two explict GUP mapping each ? Now what would be the precedence for the local subnet to pickup explict GUP since for each subnet we have two explicit GUP mappings ? 

-->  As you said earlir according to order list it will get connected, top one will be picked up first.
