FortiGate Transparent Mode and FortiGuard Update

Hi,

I have installed a FortiGate in Transparent mode, I'm using a reserved ha interface for management.

I need to know how to access to the internet for fortiguard updates using the mgmt interface (port 3 in this case)

 

FGT-1 (ha-mgmt-interfaces) # edit 1 FGT-1 (1) # get id                  : 1 interface           : port3 dst                 : 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 gateway             : 192.168.30.254 gateway6            : ::

 

the ping to outside network like 8.8.8.8 for example does not work.

I don't know how to instruct FW to use the port 3 as egress interface.

 

I don't find documentation for similar setup.

please help!

thanks

What did you set up for the manageip in the global settings?

 

config system settings

    set opmode trans

    set manageip x.x.x.x/24

    set gateway a.b.c.d

    end

 

That address is what's used for fortiguard updates. Can you ping fortiguard from that address ? have you allowed the require services thru any upstream device 

 

( these should be anycast address )

execute ping service.fortiguard.net

execute ping update.fortiguard.net
