Fabric Devices

You can view all FortiGates that the EMS has authorized in Administration > Fabric Devices. You can also deny or authorize a FortiGate.

You can also use the Share tag info from all FortiClients and Share tag info from FortiClients connected to additional FortiGates options to configure sharing endpoints' resolved IP or MAC addresses (hereafter referred to as "host tag") to the FortiGates. The following summarizes the results for these two options' configuration combinations:

Share tag info from all FortiClients configuration	Share tag info from FortiClients connected to additional FortiGates configuration	Result
Disabled	Disabled	This is the default setting. The selected FortiGate only receives the host tags for endpoints whose gateways point to the selected FortiGate.
Disabled	Enabled, with additional FortiGates selected	The selected FortiGate receives host tags for the following: Endpoints whose gateways point to the selected FortiGate Endpoints whose gateways point to the configured additional FortiGates
Enabled	Disabled	The selected FortiGate receives host tags for all endpoints, regardless of whether the gateways point to the selected FortiGate.

To change the FortiGate authorization status:

1. Go to Administration > Fabric Devices.
2. Select the desired FortiGate.
3. Click Deny or Authorize. The FortiGate status in the Authorized column changes.
