Importing objects to backup ADOMs

You can use the Add Device wizard to add FortiGate devices to an ADOM in backup mode. The wizard also lets you import Firewall address and service objects. Policies are not imported.

Alternately, you can import objects after adding devices by using the Import Policy button on the Device Manager pane.

All imported objects are stored in the Device Manager database. They are not stored in the central database, which is used to store objects used in policies.

1. Go to Device Manager > Device & Groups, and click Add Device.
