Deploying FortiSwitch device to a network

You can deploy any of the FortiSwitch units listed in the switch inventory to FortiLAN Cloud.

1. Login into your FortiCloud account and register the switch serial number.
   Registered switches are automatically added to FortiLAN/FortiSwitch Cloud.
2. To deploy the FortiSwitch, go to the Inventory tab on the main page of the FortiLAN Cloud portal OR go to My Account > Switch Inventory and select the switches to deploy.
   • You can deploy the FortiSwitch to FortiLAN Cloud or to an external AP Controller. Select Deploy to FortiLAN Cloud and click Deploy. Select the network to deploy the FortiSwitch to and click Deploy.
   • You can also deploy the FortiSwitch through FortiZTP. In the FortiZTP Devices tab, select the FortiSwitch and click Deploy to Network. Select the network to deploy the FortiSwitch to and click Deploy.

In the Switch Inventory, if you are deploying one switch, click Add. If you are deploying multiple switches, select Deploy.

After you deploy a FortiSwitch unit to FortiLAN Cloud, it is removed from the Switch Inventory pane and listed in the Switches pane (Switches > Deployed Switches).
