Overview
The fgfm protocol implements a secure communication protocol with the following functions:
- FortiGate reachability status (from FortiManager)
- FortiManager reachability status (from FortiGate)
- Configuration installation and retrieval
- Script push
- JSON monitoring via RTM
Exceptions
The following communications between FortiGate and FortiManager units are handled outside of the fgfm protocol and are managed by the FortiGuard protocol:
- FortiGuard package downloads (AV, IPS, Virus Scan, etc.)
- FortiGuard query (WF, AS)
- Firmware Downloads
