Scheduling antivirus and IPS updates

You can schedule regular, automatic updates of antivirus and IPS signatures,
either from the web-based manager or the CLI.
To enable schedule updates from the web-based manager
Go to System > Maintenance > FortiGuard Center.
Select the blue arrow for AntiVirus and IPS Downloads to expand the options.
Select the Scheduled Update check box.
Select one of the following to check for and download updates.
Every Once every 1 to 23 hours. Select the number of hours and
minutes between each update request.
Daily Once a day. You can specify the time of day to check for updates.
Weekly Once a week. You can specify the day of the week and time of day
to check for updates.
Select Apply.
The FortiGate unit starts the next scheduled update according to the new update
schedule. Whenever the FortiGate unit runs a scheduled update, the event is
recorded in the FortiGate event log.
To enable schedule updates from the CLI
Log into the CLI.
Enter the following command:
config system autoupdate schedule
set day
set frequency
set status
set time
end
Example
config system autoupdate schedule
set update every Sunday
set frequency weekly
set status enable
set time 16:45
end

Adding an override server

If you cannot connect to the FDN, or if your organization provides updates using
their own FortiGuard server, you can use the following procedures to add the IP
address of an override FortiGuard server in either the web-based manager or the
CLI.
To add an override server from the web-based manager
Go to System > Maintenance > FortiGuard Center.
Select the blue arrow for AntiVirus and IPS Downloads to expand the options.
Select the Use override server address check box.
