Optimization of fortigate IPS



  1. IPS signature need select according to infrastructure environment 
    Eg:-  if  we are not have Linux servers this ips signature can disable (default behavior of ips is to monitor TCP/IP packet)
  2. Interzone to interzone or inside interfaces to inside interfaces traffic don't call ips profile. this will affect fortigate memory /CPU
  3. Only allow/call ips security profile (in firewall rule) from inside zone to outside zone 
  4. Always create global profile and call in other VDOMs
  5. Always trigger IPS engine update manually using #execute update-ips from global mode (if the updates are not coming from fortiguard cloud) 


  • Always check the fortigate OS compatibility with IPS engine .



  • In this case the IPS engine is outdated with version 6.4.2 fortigate OS built (above picture)
  • Ones upgraded the ips we must restart the IPS engine using


    # diag test app ipsmonitor 99 (from global mode cli)

    #diag autoupdate versions | grep "IPS Attack" -A 6 (this command will help us to see the updated version from cli )
