DescriptionOptimizing CPU settings for antivirus scanning.
Components
  • FortiGate-1000 and higher running FortiOS 2.8 or 3.0.
Steps or Commands

The optimize feature configures CPU settings to ensure efficient operation of the FortiGate unit for either antivirus scanning or straight throughput traffic. When optimize is set to antivirus, the FortiGate unit uses symmetric multiprocessing to spread the antivirus tasks to several CPUs, making scanning faster.

To optimize CPU settings for antivirus scanning

  1. Connect to the CLI.
  2. Enter the following:

    config system global
       set optimize antivirus
    end

To optimize CPU settings for throughput

  1. Connect to the CLI.
  2. Enter the following:

    config system global
       set optimize throughput
    end
