Change a device's group

The In Service page lets you change the group of deployed devices.

To change a device's group:
  1. From the navigation bar, click Device > In Service.

    The In Service page loads.

  2. From the list of In Service devices, locate the device that you want to change groups for.

  3. Check the checkbox for your device, and click Re-Group.

    Note

    You can select multiple checkboxes to change the group of multiple devices.

    The Re-Group window loads.

  4. From the list of groups, select the group you want to change to, and click Apply.

    A Confirm Discard Profile window loads, asking if you want to keep or discard the existing device's profile.

  5. Select the profile option you want for your device.

    • Keep — Keep your device's current profile.
    • Discard — Discard your device's current profile and apply the profile from the selected group.
    Note

    Device profiles are given precedence over group profiles.

    FortiExtender Cloud assigns your device to the new group.

    Note

    Modifying a device's group causes the devices associated with it to reboot.
