FortiManager Cloud service
This cloud-based SaaS management service is available through FortiManager. This service is included in FortiCloud accounts with a FortiManager Cloud account level subscription (ALCI).
Configuring a per-device license
Once the FortiGate has acquired a contract named FortiManager Cloud, FortiCloud creates a cloud-based FortiManager instance under the user account. You can launch the portal for the cloud-based FortiManager from FortiCloud, and its URL starts with the User ID.
You can use a FortiGate with a contract for FortiManager Cloud to configure central management by using the FQDN of fortimanager.forticloud.com. A FortiGate-FortiManager tunnel is established between FortiGate and the FortiManager instance.
After the tunnel is established, you can execute FortiManager functions from the cloud-based FortiManager portal.
To configure FortiManager Cloud central management:
- Enable FortiManager Cloud.
- Go to Security Fabric > Fabric Connectors and double-click the FortiManager card.
- For Status, click Enable.
- For Type, click FortiManager Cloud.
- Click OK.
The FortiManager Cloud button can only be selected if you have a FortiManager Cloud product entitlement.<
