You can configure the FortiWiFi unit to connect to the FortiProtect Distribution
Network (FDN) to update the antivirus (including grayware), Spam Filter and attack
definitions and engines.
Before the FortiWiFi unit can receive antivirus and attack updates, it must be able to
connect to the FortiProtect Distribution Network (FDN). The FortiWiFi unit uses
HTTPS on port 8890 to connect to the FDN. The FortiWiFi unit must be able to route
packets to the Internet using port 8890. For information about configuring scheduled
updates, see "To enable scheduled updates" on page
You can also configure the FortiWiFi unit to allow push updates. Push updates are
provided to the FortiWiFi unit from the FDN using HTTPS on UDP port 9443. To
receive push updates, the FDN must be able to route packets to the FortiWiFi unit
using UDP port 9443. For information about configuring push updates, see
push updates" on page
The FDN is a world-wide network of FortiProtect Distribution Servers (FDSs). When
the FortiWiFi unit connects to the FDN it connects to the nearest FDS. To do this, all
FortiWiFi units are programmed with a list of FDS addresses sorted by nearest time
zone according to the time zone configured for the FortiWiFi unit.
The FortiWiFi unit supports the following antivirus and attack definition update
features:
• User-initiated updates from the FDN,
• Hourly, daily, or weekly scheduled antivirus and attack definition and antivirus
engine 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.
To receive scheduled updates and push updates, you must register the FortiWiFi unit
on the Fortinet support web page.
