FortiOS v5.0 override server setting for FortiGuard Services
FortiOS no longer has the option to specify an IP address or a domain name for FortiGuard services. FortiGate either connects to the FortiGuard Distribution Network or the managing FortiManager for update services. If a FortiGate is required to retrieve updates from a specific FortiManager or FortiGuard server, please use port address translation to redirect update traffic to the proper IP address and port. Table 14 lists the ports used by FortiGuard Services.
