FortiDeceptor extracts the serial number, IP addresses, decoy keys, expiry date; and then performs the following verifications.

  • Verify the expiration time of the license.
  • Verify that the embedded management IP address is the same as the current management IP address. You can view the IP address in the Product Information widget in the product details page.
  • Verify the expiration time of the decoys keys if the keys are subscription type.

If all the verifications pass, the unit is ready to import deception images.

Note

    • You can use FortiManager to resolve this. Because FortiDeceptor supports override FDS server, you can enter the FortiManager IP address there.
