Figure 45: Update center

FortiProtect
Distribution
Network

The status of the connection to the FortiProtect Distribution Network (FDN).
A green indicator means that the FortiGate unit can connect to the FDN. You

can configure the FortiGate unit for scheduled updates. See

“To enable

scheduled updates” on page 121

.

A red-yellow flashing indicator means that the FortiGate unit cannot connect

to the FDN. Check your configuration. For example, you may need to add

routes to the FortiGate routing table or configure your network to allow the

FortiGate unit to use HTTPS on port 8890 to connect to the Internet. You

may also have to connect to an override FortiProtect server to receive

updates. See

“To add an override server” on page 121

.

Push Update

A green indicator means that the FDN can connect to the FortiGate unit to

send push updates. You can configure the FortiGate unit to receive push

updates. See

“To enable push updates” on page 123

.

A red-yellow flashing indicator means that the FDN cannot connect to the

FortiGate unit to send push updates. Push updates may not be available if

you have not registered the FortiGate unit (see

“To register a FortiGate unit”

on page 128

), if there is a NAT device installed between the FortiGate unit

and the FDN (see

“Enabling push updates through a NAT device” on

page 124

), or if your FortiGate unit connects to the Internet using a proxy

server (see

“To enable scheduled updates through a proxy server” on

page 122

).

Refresh

When you select Refresh, the FortiGate unit tests its connection to the FDN.

The test results are displayed at the top of the System Update page.

Use override
server address

If you cannot connect to the FDN or if your organization provides antivirus

and attack updates using their own FortiProtect server, you can configure an

override server.
Select the Use override server address check box and enter the IP address

of a FortiProtect server.
If after applying the override server address, the FortiProtect Distribution

Network setting changes to available, the FortiGate unit has successfully

connected to the override server. If the FortiProtect Distribution Network

stays set to not available, the FortiGate unit cannot connect to the override

server. Check the FortiGate configuration and the network configuration to

make sure you can connect to the override FortiProtect server from the

FortiGate unit.

Update

The antivirus (including grayware), Spam filter, and attack definitions and

engines for which update information is displayed.
