Downloading antivirus and IPS updates
In the Antivirus and IPS Options section, you can schedule antivirus and IPS updates,
configure an override server, or allow push updates. You can access these options by
selecting the expand arrow.
The SETUP message that the FortiGate unit sends when you enable push updates
includes the IP address of the FortiGate interface that the FDN connects to. Use the Use
override push IP option when your FortiGate unit is behind a NAT device. The FortiGate
unit sends the FDS the IP and port numbers of the NAT device to the FDS. The NAT
device must also be configured to forward the FDS traffic to the FortiGate unit on port
9443.
For more information, see “Enabling push updates through a NAT device” on page 274.

server and select Apply. If the FDN Status still indicates no connection
to the FDN, see “Troubleshooting FDN connectivity” on page 271.

your FortiGate unit when they are available, eliminating any need for
