CLI Reference

system autoupdate override

system autoupdate override

Use this command to override the default Fortiguard Distribution Server (FDS).

If you cannot connect to the FortiGuard Distribution Network (FDN) or if your organization provides updates using their own FortiGuard server, you can override the FDS server setting so that the FortiWeb appliance connects to this server instead of the default server on Fortinet’s public FDN.

To use this command, your administrator account’s access control profile must have either w or rw permission to the mntgrp area. For details, see Permissions.

Syntax

config system autoupdate override

set status {enable | disable}

set address {"<fds_fqdn>" | "<fds_ipv4>"}

set fail-over {enable | disable}

end

Variable Description Default

status {enable | disable}

Enable to override the default list of FDN servers, and connect to a specific server. disable

address {"<fds_fqdn>" | "<fds_ipv4>"}

Enter either the IP address or fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the FDS override. No default.

fail-over {enable | disable}

Enable to fail over to one of the public FDN servers if FortiWeb cannot reach the server specified in your FDS override. enable
