Description
This article describes how to fix the issue when FortiGate cannot get the proper license.
When the debugging is run, it shows the message 'Failed getting WAN IP'.
Solution
- When a FortiGate with VDOM setting cannot get the proper license, run the debugging with CLI commands as below to investigate the issue.
From CLI.
# diagnose debug reset
# diagnose debug disable
# diagnose debug application update -1
# diagnose debug console timestamp enable
# diagnose debug enable
After that, it can show the debugging message as below including 'Failed getting WAN IP'.

The solution to fix the issue:
- In case the FortiGate has a VDOM setting, make sure that one VDOM which can access to the internet properly is present.
- Go to System -> VDOM, select the VDOM which can access to the internet, and select 'Switch Management'.
- Test and update the license again.
If this does not work:
Try to change the anycast server: it is recommended to disable anycast and switch back to unicast servers.
# config system fortiguard
set fortiguard-anycast disable
set protocol udp
set port 8888
set sdns-server-ip 208.91.112.220
end
Other possible cause can be that, in cases when the FortiGate is managed by a FortiManager, under config system central-management the setting include-default-servers is set to disable.
|
enable |
Enable inclusion of public FortiGuard servers in the override server list. |
|
disable |
Disable inclusion of public FortiGuard servers in the override server list. |
#config system central-management
set include-default-servers enable
In many cases, problems related to FortiGuard are caused by ISPs. Some ISPs block traffic on port 53 that is not DNS or that contains large packets. In those cases, the solution is to use port 8888.
Other ISPs block traffic to HTTPS port 8888. In those cases, the solution is to use UDP port 53.
