Step 4: Select a device to deploy

Note

Adding devices

You cannot add devices into FortiExtender Cloud directly. Your registered devices are automatically pulled from your FortiCare account and listed in the Inventory page.

If you do not see your devices in the Inventory page, log into your FortiCare account at https://support.fortinet.com and go to Asset > Register/Activate to register your FortiExtender devices. After your devices are registered, refresh your FortiExtender Cloud session to update your device list.

For more information, see Step 1: Register and add your devices.

FortiExtender Cloud automatically pulls your devices from your FortiCare account and lists them in the Inventory page. When you log into FortiExtender Cloud, you can view all your registered FortiExtender devices and select which device to deploy. After you deploy a device, you can push configurations to it and manage it from FortiExtender Cloud.

To find and select a device to deploy:
  1. From the navigation bar, go to Device > Inventory.

    The Inventory page loads, showing all your registered devices.

    Note: If you do not see your devices, log into your FortiCare account at https://support.fortinet.com and make sure your FortiExtender devices are registered. After your devices are registered, refresh your FortiExtender Cloud session to update your device list.

  2. From the list of devices, select the device you want to deploy.

  3. From the top of the page, click either Deploy with Profile or Deploy with Group.
  4. Select the Profile or Group you want, and then click Apply.

    The system deploys your device and consumes a license. During the deployment process, FortiExtender Cloud moves the device from the Inventory page to In Service page, and begins applying your configurations.

Note

You can see the current state of your devices in the In Service page. All devices fall into one of the following states:

  • Deploying: The device is in the process of being deployed.
  • Deployed: The device is fully installed and synced with the firmware configurations from FortiExtender Cloud.
  • Syncing: The device is currently syncing its configurations with FortiExtender Cloud. The device will reboot during the syncing process.
