Registering your FortiGate
After purchasing and installing a new FortiGate unit, you can register the unit by going
to System > Update > Support, or using a web browser to connect to
http://support.fortinet.com and selecting Product Registration.
Registration consists of entering your contact information and the serial numbers of
the FortiGate units you or your organization have purchased. Registration is quick and
easy. 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 101.
Configuring virus and attack definition updates
You can go to System > Update to configure the FortiGate unit to automatically check
to see if 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.
To configure automatic virus and attack updates, see “Updating antivirus and attack
definitions” on page 91.
Configuration example: Multiple connections to the Internet
This section describes some basic routing and firewall policy configuration examples
for a FortiGate unit with multiple connections to the Internet (see Figure 8). In this
topology, the organization operating the FortiGate unit uses two Internet service
providers to connect to the Internet. The FortiGate unit is connected to the Internet
using the external and DMZ interfaces. The external interface connects to gateway 1,
operated by ISP1 and the DMZ interface connects to gateway 2, operated by ISP2.
By adding ping servers to interfaces, and by configuring routing you can control how
traffic uses each Internet connection. With this routing configuration is place you can
proceed to create firewall policies to support multiple internet connections.
