In FortiManager, which setting controls whether managed FortiGate devices receive FortiGuard updates pushed from FortiManager rather than fetching them directly?

Allow device to initiate update

A managed FortiGate has been quarantined by a new malware strain that evades the current IPS signature set. The security team needs the latest IPS definitions pushed to this device immediately, bypassing the regular scheduled update window. The FortiManager is configured to use the default FortiGuard update servers. What should the administrator do in FortiManager to meet this requirement?

Reboot the managed FortiGate to force a definition refresh

Change the FortiGate's update schedule to 'every minute' in the device settings

Disable and re-enable the IPS service on the FortiGate policy

Manually trigger a push update from FortiManager to the managed FortiGate

A FortiManager administrator is troubleshooting why a managed FortiGate is not receiving firmware updates from FortiManager. The FortiManager has firmware caching enabled and the firmware image is uploaded. The device can reach FortiManager, but the firmware upgrade fails. What is the most likely cause?

The FortiGate does not have enough free disk space to store the new firmware image

The server override is pointing to an unreachable server

The FortiManager's push update schedule is set to 'manual'

The FortiGate is not registered with the FortiGuard service

A managed FortiGate is failing to update its FortiGuard services. The FortiManager logs show 'connection to update server failed'. The administrator has verified that the FortiGate can reach the internet and that the FortiManager can reach the FortiGuard servers. What is the most likely cause of this issue?

The FortiGate's firmware is too old to support the current FortiGuard protocol

The FortiGate's DNS settings are incorrect

The FortiManager is not licensed for FortiGuard services

The FortiGate is configured with a server override that points to an unreachable internal server

A security administrator wants to ensure that all managed FortiGates receive the latest antivirus and IPS definitions as soon as they are available from FortiGuard. The administrator wants to avoid relying on each device's individual pull schedule. What should be configured on FortiManager?

Enable push updates for FortiGuard services

Configure a server override to a third-party update server

Enable firmware caching on FortiManager

Set the FortiGate's update schedule to 'every hour'
