Updating antivirus and IPS signatures
You can configure the FortiWiFi unit to connect to the FortiGuard Distribution
Network (FDN) to update the antivirus (including grayware), antispam and IPS
attack definitions.
The FDN is a world wide network of FortiGuard Distribution Servers (FDS). 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.
You can update your antivirus and IPS signatures using the web-based manager
or the CLI. Before you can begin receiving updates, you must register your
FortiWiFi unit from the Fortinet web page.
After registering your FortiWiFi unit, verify the FortiWiFi unit can connect to the
FDN:
• Check that the FortiWiFi unit’s system time is correct.
• From the web-based manager, select refresh from the FortiGuard Center.
If you cannot connect to the FDN, follow the procedure for registering your
FortiWiFi unit and try again or see “Adding an override server” on page 46.
Updating antivirus and IPS signatures from the web-based manager
After you have registered your FortiWiFi unit, you can update antivirus and IPS
signatures using the web-based manager. The FortiGuard Center enables you to
receive push updates, allow push update to a specific IP address, and schedule
updates for daily, weekly, or hourly intervals.
Note: If you choose the option Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes, the
system time must be manually adjusted after daylight savings time ends.
Note: Update AV and IPS signatures on a regular basis. If you do not update AV and IPS
signatures regularly, the FortiWiFi unit can become vulnerable to new viruses.
