Description
This article explains how to configure and check which Internet Service database version is installed and running on FortiOS based devices and virtual machines.
Scope
FortiOS 7.0.4 and above
FortiOS 7.2.1 and above
Solution
Starting with FortiOS 7.0.4 and FortiOS 7.2.1, FortiOS provides a new configuration parameter (internet-service-database) to choose which Internet-service databases (full, standard or mini) should be downloaded from FortiGuard and installed.
Run the following command and substitute [version] with mini, standard or full:
config system global
set internet-service-database [version]
end
For example:
config system global
set internet-service-database mini
end
To check which Internet Service database version is in use, use the following command:
# diagnose autoupdate versions
It will display information about the current database. For example:
...
Internet-service Mini Database
---------
Version: 7.02755
Contract Expiry Date: n/a
Last Updated using manual update on Wed Oct 19 11:57:54 2022
Last Update Attempt: Wed Oct 19 12:12:14 2022
Result: No Updates
...
The response above is an example with a mini database.
Note: FortiOS v6.2 and v6.4 do not allow the choice of which ISDB database to install. The database to install is selected based on the hardware platform type and cannot be changed.
