Upstream FortiManager provides delta only updates to downstream FortiManagers in cascade mode 7.4.2
This information is also available in the FortiManager 7.4 Administration Guide: |
Upstream FortiManager provides delta only updates to downstream FortiManagers in cascade mode - air gapped environments, to save the WAN bandwidth and reduce update time.
To provide delta updates to downstream FortiManager:
-
On the online FortiManager, go to FortiGuard > Query Services > Receive Status, and Export the FortiGuard package.
A dialog appears with the option to enable or disable delta package downloads. -
Enable the Download Delta Data toggle. When enabled, the merged FortiGuard package will be downloaded with delta packages.
-
On the upstream FortiManager, go to FortiGuard > Query Services > Receive Status and Import the package with the delta packages. The download history shows the imported delta packages.
-
The downstream FortiManager can pull delta packages from the upstream FortiManager instead of getting the entire merged package, saving bandwidth.
