Hello, I am just wondering if it is possible to specify the dedicated out of band interface for connect to FortiGuard for ratings, updates, etc. I know the set ha-direct enable command but not sure if it also works for connecting to FirtiGuard services. Thanks!

    Hello,

     

    Interface for FortiGuard communication can be set under "config system fortiguard"

     

    config system fortiguard
    set interface-select-method

     

    auto Set outgoing interface automatically.
    sdwan Set outgoing interface by SD-WAN or policy routing rules.
    specify Set outgoing interface manually.

    end
