Technical Tip: DLP Fingerprint CLI on Flow mode only devices

Description This article describes an issue that is observed on FortiGate models which has less than 2 GB of RAM running FortiGate v7.4.4 to v7.6.2, where the DLP fingerprint-related CLI option is still available in the config despite these models not supporting proxy-based UTM features.
Scope FortiGate v7.4.4, v7.6.2.
Solution

Starting from v7.4.4 and above, all the proxy-based features have been removed from the 2GB RAM FortiGate models. 

 

Note: 2 GB RAM FortiGate models no longer support FortiOS proxy-related features.

 

Fingerprint-based DLP is a proxy-based feature and should not be visible or can be used in flow mode only systems.

 

Endeavour-kvm65 # config dlp

fp-doc-source ---> Create a DLP fingerprint database by allowing the FortiGate to access a file server containing files from which to create fingerprints.
sensitivity ---> Create self-explanatory DLP sensitivity levels to be used when setting sensitivity under config fp-doc-source.

To solve this issue, if the FortiGate is in v7.6.0 or above, make sure the FortiGate is upgraded to v7.6.3.

 

Once the FortiGate is upgraded, the commands 'config dlp fp-doc-source and config dlp sensitivity' are removed as both are proxy-based features.
