Managing FortiGuard Services
The FortiGuard Center, located in System Settings > FortiGuard Center menu provides a central location for configuring and enabling your FortiManager system’s built-in FDS as an FDN override server.
The default behavior of each FortiGate, FortiMail, and FortiCarrier unit is to directly contact the nearest FDN server for intrusion protection and antivirus updates. To save network bandwidth and perhaps simplify your network configuration, you can configure your FortiManager unit to act as an FDN server. Your FortiManager unit retrieves the updates from the nearest FDN server for updates, and all your other units will contact your FortiManager unit for the updates.
The System Settings > FortiGuard Center menu provides options that enable you configure the FortiGuard services provided by the FortiManager unit.
The following options are available:
Configuration | Select to configure override servers. |
Update Mode | Select to configure the FortiGuard update management mode. |
Firmware Images | Select to view the available firmware images for managed devices, and download firmware images for loading onto the managed devices. For more information see “Downloading firmware images”. |
