Introduction

FortiManager Cloud is a cloud-based management platform based on FortiManager.

Once FortiGate has acquired the required license, FortiCloud can be used to create a 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 required license 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 instance.
