Detect FortiManager Cloud account level subscription 6.4.4

If a FortiCloud account has a FortiManager Cloud account level subscription (ALCI), a FortiGate registered to the FortiCloud account can recognize it and enable FortiManager Cloud central management.

To configure FortiManager Cloud central management:

1. Register the FortiGate (see Registration). If the FortiCare account has a FortiManager Cloud contract (10 device limitation), the FortiGate is allowed to enable FortiManager Cloud.
2. In FortiOS, verify the contract information to check the contract is valid:

   # diagnose test update info contract
   ...
   System contracts:
       ...
   Account contracts:
       FMGC,Thu Dec  2 16:00:00 2021
   ...
   

3. Enable FortiManager Cloud:
   1. Go to Security Fabric > Fabric Connectors and double-click the FortiManager card.
   2. For Type, select FortiManager Cloud.

      

   3. Click OK.
4. Verify the FortiManager Cloud status:

   # diagnose fdsm central-mgmt-status
   Connection status: Handshake
   Registration status: Unknown

5. In the FortiCloud portal, click the dropdown beside your user name and select Cloud Management > FortiManager.
6. Click the corresponding account to launch the FortiManager Cloud instance.
7. In FortiManager Cloud, go to Device Manger > Device & Groups. The FortiGate is now listed as synchronized managed device.

   

8. In FortiOS, verify the FortiManager Cloud status again:

   # diagnose fdsm central-mgmt-status
   Connection status: Up
   Registration status: Registered
