Adding a site

A FortiDevice site is a unique network segment. Multiple sites can use the same RFC 1918 space with each site being used for different assets within the inventory. For example, one site might include all the switches with another site including all the servers.

This section covers the following topics:

• Adding a new site

• Editing a site

• Deleting a site

• Changing the column display

• Performing a search
