Firewall deployments can be characterised by episodes of intense activity interspersed with long periods of “I assume it’s working ok”. However, between the cutover and Business as Usual (BAU) transition the long termfeed and watering some aspects of Firewall maintenance are often overlooked. Nailing down your FortiGate fleet’s interaction with the FortiGuard Distribution Network (FDN) is such a task.
Enabling your FortiGate estate to dial home to the FDN is an important, but simple step towards firewall deployment finalization. Most Fortinet products are configured to use our public DNS and NTP servers from the factory. Once the FortiGate can reach its default gateway, it will retrieve licenses, support status, and updates for the AV/IPS database from the FDN. For many deployments, no special effort is required.
