Quick-Tip – Checking your Fortigate DB versions

Quick-Tip – Checking your Fortigate DB versions

By default, the FortiGate will reach out to FortiGuard Labs every 2 hours.  It will upgrade the various DB automatically.  As of the writing of this article, Let’s Encrypt’s old CA cert IdentTrust DST Root CA X3​ expired and broke a bunch of sites.  Fortinet is in the process of updating and removing the bad cert.   The command to validate your DB versions is:

dia autoupdate versions

The output should look something like this
