Add Managed Devices to the Management Center
• Downloading the VDB update.
• Installing the VDB update.
Allow enough time between tasks for the process to complete. For example, if you schedule a task to install
an update and the update has not fully downloaded, the installation task will not succeed. However, if the
scheduled installation task repeats daily, it will install the downloaded VDB update when the task runs the
next day.

Add Managed Devices to the Management Center
For each managed device, use these instructions to establish a simple deployment that does not incude
multi-tenancy, clusters, or high availability. To configure a deployment using any of these features, see the

When a VDB update includes changes applicable to managed devices, the first manual or scheduled deploy
after installing a new VBD update may result in a small number of packets dropping without inspection.
Additionally, deploying some configurations restarts the Snort porcess, which interrupts traffic inspection.
Whether traffic drops during this interruption or passes without further inspection depends on how the target
device handles traffic. See the
version for more information.
