Description | This article describes why inline mode may not be available as a scan strategy in FortiSandbox mode in an Antivirus profile. |
Scope | FortiGate. |
Solution |
An inline scan strategy in an Antivirus profile can be configured once the antivirus profile is set to proxy-based.
Even after setting up the Antivirus profile in proxy mode, the inline feature may be grayed out.
This can happen if the inline scan option is disabled which is default setup in FortiSandbox configuration. Once enabled the inline scan strategy will be enabled in Antivirus profile.
config system fortisandbox
The inline scanning can be configured with FortiGuard AI-Based Sandbox Service or FortiSandbox with FortiGate Cloud.
In this case, 'sandbox-inline-scan' has to be enabled under FortiGuard settings. CLI: config system fortiguard
Once enabled, the inline scan strategy can be used from the Antivirus profile. |
