FortiDeploy

FortiDeploy is a mechanism built into FortiCloud that allows for simplified import and provisioning of any quantity of devices. It allows the user to deploy local or remote installed FortiGates and FortiAPs to their preferred management interface with a few clicks of the mouse. It is particularly efficient with remote deployments to FortiGate Cloud and FortiLAN Cloud.

FortiGates and FortiAPs have a FortiCloud key so that they may be quickly added to a FortiCloud account. Alternately, a FortiDeploy key can be added to a purchase order for bulk deployment of multiple devices.

As devices at remote locations are plugged in, they automatically obtain an IP address via DHCP. These devices then ‘call home’ to FortiCloud. From there, the device will receive the customer’s preconfigured management choice for that device, whether a FortiManager IP or adding the device directly into FortiCloud.

Note

FortiDeploy does not have a specific portal, but Cloud keys and FortiDeploy keys can be entered in different FortiCloud portals, including Asset Management, FortiGate Cloud, and FortiLAN Cloud.

FortiDeploy is a feature in FortiCloud that is able to quickly onboard FortiAP wireless access points and FortiGate firewalls from a centralized, cloud-based management console.
