Adding an override server

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

1Go to System > Update.

2Select the Use override server address check box.

3Type the IP address of a FortiResponse server.

4Select 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.
