The dynamic proxy client concept is based on the following roles:

Provider

Requires
In the device configuration, under Firmware > Proxy type, the device must be configured to `Dynamic`.

The provider is the device that acts as the Dynamic Proxy client. All devices with an update partition can be selected for the provider role. Once a provider is selected, the device remains in the provider role for the upcoming updates. In case the provider is not available at the required point in time, another device with an update partition takes over the provider role. The provider is selected automatically and dynamically.

To exclude devices from the provider role, under Firmware > Proxy type, select None.

Consumer

Requires
In the device configuration, under [Firmware > Proxy type], the device must be configured to [Dynamic].

All devices of a subnet that are not selected for the provider role are consumers. The consumers perform their update through the provider of the subnet. The consumers do not need to download software packages from the web server.

To exclude devices from the consumer role, under Firmware > Proxy type, select None.

Note:

In the Firmware configuration, if HTTP is used, the User and Password fields must remain empty.
