Why each option
FortiGate units can update antivirus and attack definitions by manually downloading signatures from the support site or by pulling updates directly from FortiGuard Distribution Network (FDN) servers.
Administrators can manually download signature files from the FortiGuard support site and upload them to the FortiGate for offline or specific updates.
FortiGate units can be configured to automatically or manually 'pull' updates directly from the FortiGuard Distribution Network (FDN) servers at scheduled intervals or on demand.
FortiAnalyzer is primarily for centralized logging and reporting, not for pushing security definition updates to FortiGate units; FortiManager can act as a local FortiGuard server for updates.
While CLI commands are used for configuration, there is no direct 'execute fortiguard-AV-AS command' for performing updates; updates are typically configured via `config system fortiguard` or initiated via `execute update-now`.
