If the FortiGate unit is not configured for remote management, or if it is configured to use a
FortiManager unit, uploaded scripts are discarded after execution. Save script files to your
management PC if you want to execute them again later.
If the FortiGate unit is configured to use the FortiGuard Analysis and Management
Service, the script file is saved to the remote server for later reuse. You can view the script
or run it from the FortiGuard Analysis and Management Service portal web site. For more
information about viewing or running an uploaded script on the portal web site, see the
FortiGuard Analysis and Management Service Users Guide

Configuring FortiGuard Services
Go to
System > Maintenance > FortiGuard
to configure your FortiGate unit to use the
FortiGuard Distribution Network (FDN) and FortiGuard Services. The FDN provides
updates to antivirus definitions, IPS definitions, and the Antispam rule set. FortiGuard
Services include FortiGuard web filtering and the FortiGuard Analysis and Management
Service.
FortiGuard Distribution Network
The FDN is a world-wide network of FortiGuard Distribution Servers (FDS). The FDN
provides updates to antivirus (including grayware) definitions, IPS definitions, and the
antispam rule set. When the FortiGate unit contacts the FDN, it connects to the nearest
FDS based on the current time zone setting.
The FortiGate unit supports the following update options:
•
user-initiated updates from the FDN
•
hourly, daily, or weekly scheduled antivirus definition, IPS definition, and antispam rule
set updates from the FDN
•
push updates from the FDN
•
update status including version numbers, expiry dates, and update dates and times
•
push updates through a NAT device.
Registering your FortiGate unit on the
provides a valid license
contract and connection to the FDN. On the Fortinet Support web page, go to
and follow the instructions.
Caution:
Commands that require the FortiGate unit to reboot when entered on the
command line will also force a reboot if included in a script.
