Registering your FortiGate unit
After purchasing and installing a new FortiGate unit, you can register the unit by going
to the System Update Support page, or using a web browser to connect to
http://support.fortinet.com and selecting Product Registration.
To register, enter your contact information and the serial numbers of the FortiGate
units that you or your organization have purchased. You can register multiple
FortiGate units in a single session without re-entering your contact information.
For more information about registration, see “Registering FortiGate units” on
page 133.
Configuring virus and attack definition updates
You can go to the System Update page to configure the FortiGate unit to automatically
check whether new versions of the virus definitions and attack definitions are
available. If it finds new versions, the FortiGate unit automatically downloads and
installs the updated definitions.
The FortiGate unit uses HTTPS on port 8890 to check for updates. The FortiGate
external interface must have a path to the FortiResponse Distribution Network (FDN)
using port 8890.
For information about configuring automatic virus and attack updates, see “Updating
antivirus and attack definitions” on page 123.
