Fortimanager and ISDB

Hello

I've got 8 HA firewall pairs that I need to make sure the new IP scheme from Mimecast is updated in the ISDB. Can this be done via the FMG or do I need to go to each FortiGate HA pair?

 

Or does the FMG only point to the FortiGuard servers?

 

Thank you

Just got access to my FMG. You can also see all of the ISDB entries if you create a new policy in FMG, click the "Destination Internet Service" toggle and then click the "+" and then view the services in the resulting panel.

ISDB is updated directly from FortiGuard. So if you reference an ISDB object either directly in your FortiGate policy or via a FortiManager policy package, it will use the latest version availble from FortiGuard. This assumes your FortiGates are getting FortiGuard updates of course...

Understood, Graham - thanks for responding.

To be more specific on my question, I know I am able to see all of the ISDB entries in the FortiGate, but to save me time by going to 8 Firewall's, can I just look somewhere at all the ISDB entries in FMG?

 

Or does the FMG not have the 17,000 plus entries and you can only see them in the FortiGate?

I'm not in front of a FMG instance at the moment but if your goal it to just browse the IDSB entries this info is available at fortiguard.com:
