gw-world:/>

updatecenter -status IDP

To get the status of AV updates:

gw-world:/>

updatecenter -status Antivirus

Querying Server Status

To get the status of the D-Link network servers use the command:

gw-world:/>

Deleting Local Databases

Some technical problem in the operation of either IDP or the Anti-Virus modules may be resolved
by deleting the database and reloading. For IDP this is done with the command

gw-world:/>

removedb IDP

To remove the Anti-Virus database, use the command:

gw-world:/>

removedb Antivirus

Once removed, the entire system should be rebooted and a database update initiated. Removing the
database is also recommended if either IDP or Anti-Virus is not used for longer periods of time.

Note

Anti-Virus database updates require a couple of seconds to be optimized once an
update is downloaded. This will cause the firewall to momentarily pause in its
operation. It can therefore be best to set the timing of updates to be at times of low
traffic, such as in the early hours of the morning. Deleting a database can cause a
similar pause in operation.
