ISDB update through REST API from file "ffdb_..."

Hello, community

I am trying to update the database ISDB through REST API FortiOS from file "ffdb_...". Which db_name should I use? The REST API Reference does not say about it? Also, when I try to update through web from file "ffdb_...": Fortiguard→ Firmware & General Updates I get the error: "Failed to upgrade database"

Hi

After some more investigation, it seems that a manual ISDB update via the GUI is not possible in the version you are running (6.4 or 7.0). A manual update is only possible via CLI. This is described in the following documents:

However, I tested some other versions and can see that the functionality you require is available in 7.2 and 7.4. We can see a new button specifically for upgrading the ISDB.

I tested the functionality in my lab and i was able to successfully upgrade the ISDB using the GUI.

 

Thanks

Take a backup before making any changes
