| Description | This article describes that the European (EU) FortiGuard servers work only with the Anycast domain name. |
| Scope | FortiGate v7.0+. |
| Solution |
FortiGuard servers located only in the USA or the European Union through the following commands:
config system fortiguard set update-server-location [automatic | usa | eu] end
config system fortiguard
It is not possible to take the updates from the FortiGuard servers:
Debug commands for FortiGuard:
diagnose debug disable diagnose debug reset diagnose debug application update -1 diagnose debug console timestamp enable diagnose debug enable
Force FortiGuard update after running debug application update -1:
execute update-now
If no output is generated after initiating the 'execute update-now', restart the update process by initiating the command 'fnsysctl killall updated'.
