Configuring FortiTester

FortiTester can be added to the Security Fabric and authorized from the Security Fabric topology views. Once added, the FortiTester will appear in the Security Fabric widget on the dashboard.

To add FortiTester to the Security Fabric in the GUI:

1. In FortiOS, ensure that FortiGate is prepared to add FortiTester to the Security Fabric. See Preparing FortiGate for supported Security Fabric devices.

2. (Optional) In FortiOS, configure pre-authorization of FortiTester to enable the device to join the Security Fabric as soon as it connects. See Configuring pre-authorization of supported Security Fabric devices.

3. In FortiTester, enable the Security Fabric:

   See also the FortiTester Administration Guide.
