Adding Devices
When initially adding a device to a FortiManager, there are several steps that should be followed before the FortiGate is considered synchronized.
To synchronize FortiGate with FortiManager:
1. Ensure a policy package is assigned to this device using Import Policy.
2. Perform an Install Policy Package to ensure that FortiGate and FortiManager are properly synchronized.
As a result, the Config Status and Policy Package Status will show as Synchronized.
The above procedure does not apply to the Backup Mode. |
Ensuring that a FortiGate is synchronized sets a good foundation for future configuration changes to be pushed to the FortiGate.
