file/email exceeds size limit

[#1]

In the AV section of the logs I am seeubg this ' exceeds file size limit' message a lot. It seems to happen the most when someone tries to view any online video. Is there a way to raise the limit? I have not been able to find anything in the GUI that would fix this. The suits want to view their YouTube! Help. TYIA, Chris

Thanks for your reply. I am relatively new to the Fortigate appliance, but I would specifically like to disable file size restrictions for specific machines. Is it possible to create protection profiles for specific IP addresses (as opposed to subnets)? I am using the 2.8 firmware.

You can' t create protection profiles for specific IP addresses (or subnets), but you can create policies for specific IP addresses, and apply different protection profiles to them. This will do what you want, just one step removed.

I' m having the same problem... I understand what the setting is for...but if it' s set to PASS above 10MB...then why is ANYTHING being blocked? I' m getting the same file exceeds size limit in the logs...I' ve checked and it' s set to PASS. EDIT: FortiWiFI 60B f/w 3.0 (MR 5 patch 3) It seems that the files are being passed...but as it' s been pointed out...it still writes an entry in the log. HOWEVER, my client has a particular poker program that fails to download the regular updates. I' m thinking it' s because of the hesitation of the download maybe. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance, moose

For some reason, it seems to always tell you in the log that the file is over the size, this is just an alert, regardless of you settings.. so just ignore it. As to the " still slow even on bigger files" , this is because until the fortinet hits the max limit, it doesnt know its oversized. so it usually scans up to the maximim and then sees its oversize and suddenly speeds up (presuming you are not blocking oversized obviously). ie. it starts slow then speeds when its stop av scanning.
