Description

This article explains the different sizes of Internet Service Databases (ISDBs) available to use with FortiOS.

Scope FortiOS.
Solution

In the new FortiOS version, ISDBs are categorized in three sizes based on hardware and data file size. The 'mini' database size is typically used by default in smaller hardware devices such as FortiGate 50E and 30E.

 

The following sizes are available:

 

- Mini: a small-sized ISDB with a very limited amount of available IP addresses.

- Standard: a medium-sized ISDB with most IP addresses available.

- Full: a large-sized ISDB with all IP addresses available (this ISDB is more likely to contain malicious IPs).

 

The following ISDB services are included in a mini database:

 

1245454_Fortinet-FortiGuard.Secure.DNS

65646_Google-Gmail

327793_Microsoft-Microsoft.Update

327837_Microsoft-Dynamics

327886_Microsoft-Intune

1245324_Fortinet-FortiGuard

1245325_Fortinet-FortiMail.Cloud

1245326_Fortinet-FortiCloud

1245432_Fortinet-FortiVoice.Cloud

1966183_Cisco-Webex

6422646_Zoom.us-Zoom.Meeting

327880_Microsoft-Office365.Published

12845290_Blockchain-Crypto.Mining.Pool

3014850_Proxy-Proxy.Server

12779753_VPN-Anonymizing.VPN.Server

3080383_Botnet-C&C.Server
