Why each option
FortiGate units support antivirus and attack definition updates through manual downloads, pulling updates from FortiGuard, and the push mechanism from the FortiGuard Distribution Network.
FortiGate units support manual updates where administrators can download signature files from the Fortinet support site and upload them to the device.
FortiGate units can be configured to pull updates automatically from the FortiGuard Distribution Network (FDN) on a scheduled basis.
Updates are pushed from FortiGuard to its global distribution network, which FortiGate devices then pull from, making it an originating 'push' mechanism in the broader sense.
The 'update-AV/AS' command from the CLI is an action to initiate an update, not an update *option* or method by which the definitions are sourced or transmitted.
