NAT/Route mode installation
Configuring virus and attack definition updates
You can go to System > Update to configure the FortiGate unit to automatically check
to see if new versions of the virus definitions and attack definitions are available. If it
finds new versions, the FortiGate unit automatically downloads and installs the
updated definitions.
The FortiGate unit uses HTTPS on port 8890 to check for updates. FortiGate interface
2 must have a path to the FortiResponse Distribution Network (FDN) using port 8890.
To configure automatic virus and attack updates, see
“Updating antivirus and attack
definitions” on page 115
.
Configuration example: Multiple connections to the Internet
This section describes some basic routing and firewall policy configuration examples
for a FortiGate unit with multiple connections to the Internet (see
Figure 8
). In this
topology, the organization operating the FortiGate unit uses two Internet service
providers to connect to the Internet. The FortiGate unit is connected to the Internet
using port 2 and port 3. Port 1 connects to gateway 1, operated by ISP1 and port 2
connects to gateway 2, operated by ISP2.
By adding ping servers to interfaces, and by configuring routing you can control how
traffic uses each Internet connection. With this routing configuration is place you can
proceed to create firewall policies to support multiple internet connections.
This section provides some examples of routing and firewall configurations to
configure the FortiGate unit for multiple internet connections. To use the information in
this section you should be familiar with FortiGate routing (see
“Configuring routing” on
page 138
) and FortiGate firewall configuration (see
“Firewall configuration” on
page 169
).
The examples below show how to configure destination-based routing and policy
routing to control different traffic patterns.
