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 2818243_Tor-Exit.Node 2818238_Tor-Relay.Node 3014850_Proxy-Proxy.Server 12779753_VPN-Anonymizing.VPN.Server 3080383_Botnet-C&C.Server
The database type can be verified with the following command:
