Figure 1: Configuring automatic antivirus and attack definitions updates
If you cannot connect to the FDN, or if your organization provides antivirus and attack
updates using their own FortiResponse server, you can use the following procedure to
add the IP address of an override FortiResponse server.
To add an override server
1 Go to System > Update.
2 Select the Use override server address check box.
3 Type the IP address of a FortiResponse server.
4 Select Apply.
The FortiGate unit tests the connection to the override server.
If the FortiResponse Distribution Network setting changes to available, the FortiGate
unit has successfully connected to the override server.
If the FortiResponse Distribution Network stays set to not available, the FortiGate unit
cannot connect to the override server. Check the FortiGate configuration and network
configuration for settings that would prevent the FortiGate unit connecting to the
override FortiResponse server.
