| Description | This article describes how to handle an issue where FortiGate fails to reach FortiGuard and the FortiManager while there is no Local-FortiGuard configured. |
| Scope | FortiGate, FortiManager, FortiGuard. |
| Solution |
When no local-FortiGuard has been configured from FortiGate, the debug log outputs will inform the user of a failure to update.
Ertiga-kvm30 # upd_fds_load_default_server[939]-Resolve and add fds usupdate.fortinet.net ip address failed.
However, in some situations while running the debug commands, the FortiGate fails to get an update from FortiGuard, and will instead connect to local-FortiGuard to get an update.
upd_comm_connect_fds[457]-Trying FMG 49.231.XX.XX:8890 <- Trying to connect to FortiManager using port 8890.
In this situation, check the 'include-default-servers' under system Central-Management.
If disabled, it will reach the Local-FortiGuard (even if there is no local-FortiGuard configured).
If enabled, it will reach the FortiGuard Server.
Ertiga-kvm30 # config system central-management Ertiga-kvm30 (central-management) # get
When there is no Local-FortiGuard configured, ensure the 'include-default-servers' value is enabled if the FortiGate fails to reach the FortiGuard. It will produce an error instead of connecting to FortiManager as Local-FortiGuard.
