Technical Tip: Allow FortiADC to Fortinet Distribution Network(FDN) services
| Description | This article describes the requirement to allow FortiADC connection to the Fortinet Distribution Network (FDN). |
| Scope | FortiADC and FortiADC VM. |
| Solution | FortiADC periodically connects to FDN services for its FortiGuard service license verification and signature database/engine updates.

FortiADC requires at least a DNS and HTTPS connection to the below domains:
update.fortiguard.net
Perform the below actions once FDN domains are allowed in the firewall policy or security devices.
