The poll-period argument specifies how often (in minutes) to check for an update. The default is 720
minutes (12 hours).
The retry-count argument specifies how many times to try reconnecting to the server if the first attempt
fails. The default is 0.
The retry-period argument specifies how long to wait (in minutes) between retries. The default is 5.
(Optional) To schedule a specific time for the security appliance to poll the Auto Update server, use the

time specifies the time in the format HH:MM at which to start the poll. For example, 8:00 is 8:00 AM
and 20:00 is 8:00 PM

The range is from 1 to 1439 minutes.
retry_count specifies how many times to try reconnecting to the Auto Update Server if the first attempt
fails. The default is 0.
retry_period specifies how long to wait between connection attempts. The default is 5 minutes. The
range is from 1 and 35791 minutes.
(Optional) If the Auto Update Server has not been contacted for a certain period of time, the following
Step 5

hostname(config)# auto-update timeout period
Where period specifies the timeout period in minutes between 1 and 35791. The default is to never time

Use this command to ensure that the security appliance has the most recent image and configuration.
This condition is reported with system log message 201008.
In the following example, a security appliance is configured to poll an AUS with IP address
209.165.200.224, at port number 1742, from the outside interface, with certificate verification.
It is also configured to use the hostname of the security appliance as the device ID. It is configured to
poll every Friday and Saturday night at a random time between 10:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. On a failed
polling attempt, it will try to reconnect to the AUS 10 times, and wait 3 minutes between attempts at
reconnecting.
