Technical Tip: AntiVirus 'Normal DB' option is no longer supported

[akamath]

Description
FortiGate uses Extended DB as its default AntiVirus DB.
The Normal DB option is no longer supported.
For FortiGate models that support extreme DB, the option to choose extended DB or extreme DB is available.

Solution
Under config antivirus settings, the default-db parameter has been removed.
FortiGate models that support extreme set database have a new use-extreme-db parameter.
By default, use-extreme-db is disabled so that FortiGate uses its normal and extended set databases.
When use-extreme-db is enabled, FortiGate uses the extreme set database

AntiVirus settings in the CLI.

- On low end models, use-extreme-db is hidden.
This example shows the CLI captured on FortiGate-101E.

(settings) # show full-configuration
# config antivirus settings
    set grayware enable
    set override-timeout 0
end

- On higher end models, use-extreme-db is available.
This example shows the CLI captured on FortiGate-600D.

(settings) # show full-configuration
# config antivirus settings
    set use-extreme-db enable
    set grayware enable
    set override-timeout 0
end

(settings)set use-extreme-db ?
enable                            <----- Enable extreme AVDB.
disable                           <----- Disable extreme AVDB.
