Configuring HTTP access to install software updates using the CLI

Use the commands in this topic to configure HTTP access to install software updates from a USB device onto the appliance. By default, you can access only the contents locally in the fireeye directory for the first partition from a specified URL.

Note

The Central Management System appliance does not host guest images when it is operating in "inline" mode.

Prerequisites

Admin access
Enable auto-mounting on the USB device to the attached appliance. For details about how to enable auto-mounting, see Enabling or disabling auto-mounting on a USB device using the CLI .

To configure HTTP access to install software updates from a USB device:

Go to CLI configuration mode:

hostname > enable

hostname # configure terminal

Enable HTTP access on the loopback interface on the appliance:
```
hostname (config) # media usb web-access enable local
```
Local web access is enabled by default.
Specify the top-level directory as the location to extract software updates on a USB device:
```
hostname (config) # media usb web-access top-dir fireeye
```
This directory will be used as the URL to extract the software on the USB device. For example, if you specified the install directory as fireeye/gi-13.0701, the URL for the installation is http://localhost/media/usb1/fireeye/gi-13.0701.

Verify that the USB device is mounted:

hostname (config) # show media usb
USB auto-mount configuration:
  Enabled:             yes
  Local web access:    yes
  Top-level directory: fireeye
USB auto-mount status:
  Device mounted:      yes
  Access URL:          N/A

Download software updates using the specified URL as the location to install the updates. See Installing guest images from a USB device using the CLI for a representative procedure.
