To change FortiGate host name
The FortiGate host name appears on the Status page and in the FortiGate CLI

about the SNMP system name, see “SNMP” on page 98.
The default host name is FortiGate-200A.
1 Go to System > Status > Status.
2 In the Host Name field of the Unit Information section, select Change.
3 In the New Name field, type a new host name.
4 Select OK.
The new host name is displayed in the Host Name field, and in the CLI prompt, and is
added to the SNMP System Name.
To update the firmware version
For information on updating the firmware, see “Changing the FortiGate firmware” on
page 32.
To update the antivirus definitions manually
1 Download the latest antivirus definitions update file from Fortinet and copy it to the
computer that you use to connect to the web-based manager.
2 Start the web-based manager and go to System > Status > Status.
3 In the Antivirus Definitions field of the Unit Information section, select Update.
4 In the Update File field, type the path and filename for the antivirus definitions update
file, or select Browse and locate the antivirus definitions update file.
5 Select OK to copy the antivirus definitions update file to the FortiGate unit.
The FortiGate unit updates the antivirus definitions. This takes about 1 minute.
Note: If the FortiGate unit is part of an HA cluster, you should set a unique name to distinguish
the unit from others in the cluster.

updates, see “Update center” on page 120.
