Security Fabric device configuration

This section contains information about how to configure the following devices as part of the Fortinet Security Fabric:

• FortiGate
• FortiAnalyzer
• FortiManager
• FortiSandbox
• FortiClient EMS
• FortiAP and FortiSwitch
• Additional devices

System requirements

To set up the Security Fabric, the devices that you want to include must meet the Product Integration and Support requirements in the FortiOS Release Notes.

Some features of the Security Fabric are only available in certain firmware versions and models. Not all FortiGate models can run the FortiGuard Security Rating Service if they are the root FortiGate in a Security Fabric. For more information, see the Special Notices in the FortiOS Release Notes.

Prerequisites

• If devices are not already installed in your network, complete basic installation and configuration tasks by following the instructions in the device documentation.
• Either disable VDOMs on all FortiGate devices that you want to add to the Security Fabric or make sure devices are in split-task VDOM mode. See Virtual Domains.
• Configure all FortiGate devices to operate in NAT mode.
