Disable IPS engine autoupdate

[sindre]

If you manage Fortigate or many Fortigates. 

I recommend you go in and make sure that IPS engine is not being updated from FortiGuard. Especially if you are running 7.0.x.

Find out how to disable it, and do it. 

You're welcome.

Maybe someone from Fortinet TAC can provide a KB for how to do this with and without a FMG?

Hello @sindre,

Please use the below commands in CLI to stop autoupdate of IPS.

config system autoupdate schedule
set status disable
end

Or you can disable it on GUI from System --> Config --> Fortiguard --> AV & IPS download options --> disable by un-ticking scheduled Update.

Thanks
