Internet Service database update occurs only if specific policy objects require a FortiGuard update 7.4.1

Note

This information is also available in the FortiManager 7.4 Administration Guide:

ZTP process has been optimized with Internet Service database update occurring only if specific objects used in the policy require a FortiGuard update.

To see when an ISDB update will be performed:
  1. On FortiManager, go to the Device Manager and add a model device.
  2. Assign a Policy Package to the device.
  3. Enable Central Management from the FortiManager in the FortiGate GUI.
  4. Following the device auto-link process, when the configuration is pushed to FortiGate, FortiManager determines if an ISDB update is required:
    • ISDB update not required:
      • If there is no Internet Service used in the Policy Package, there will be no ISDB update performed.
      • If the Internet Service used in the Policy Package is the same version or an older version than the version on the FortiGate, there will be no ISDB update performed.
    • ISDB update required:
      • If the Internet Service used in the Policy Package is newer than the ISDB version on the FortiGate, an ISDB update is performed during the Push config to device process following auto-linking.
