Operating as an FDS in a Closed Network
The Micro-FortiGuard Server for FortiClient can be operated as a local FDS server when it is in a closed network with no internet connectivity.
Without a connection to a FortiGuard server, update packages and licenses must be manually downloaded from support, and then uploaded to the Micro-FortiGuard Server for FortiClient.

As databases can be large, we recommend uploading them using the CLI. See Uploading packages with the CLI. |

Uploading packages with the CLI
Packages and licenses can be uploaded using the CLI. This should be used when the packages being uploaded are large, like database packages.
To upload packages and license files using the CLI:
- If not already done, disable communications with the FortiGuard server and enable a closed network with the following CLI commands:
config fmupdate publicnetwork
set status disable
end
- Upload an update package or license:
- Load the package or license file to an FTP, SCP, or TFTP server
- Run the following CLI command:
execute fmupdate {ftp | scp | tftp} import <av-ips | fct-av | url | spam | file-query | license-fgt | license-fct | custom-url | domp> <remote_file> <ip> <port> <remote_path> <user> <password>
