Creating a Telemetry gateway list
You can create a Telemetry gateway list that contains IP addresses for one or multiple FortiGates and EMS servers. FortiClient searches for IP addresses in its subnet in the Telemetry gateway list and connects to the FortiGate in the list that is in the same subnet as the host system.
If FortiClient cannot find any FortiGates in its subnet, it attempts to connect to the first reachable FortiGate in the list, starting from the top. FortiClient maintains the list order as configured in the Telemetry gateway list.

- Go to Telemetry Gateway Lists > Manage Telemetry Gateway Lists.
- Click the Add button.
