Adding FortiGate CNF device

FortiManager supports management of FortiGate CNF instances.

Tooltip

When creating a new FortiGate CNF instance in the FortiGate CNF console, you must enable FortiManager Mode in order to manage the instance in FortiManager. This setting cannot be changed after the instance is created.

You can only see the FortiGate connection information if the instance was created with FortiManager Mode enabled.

To add a FortiGate CNF instance to FortiManager:
  1. In the FortiGate CNF console, in the Display Primary FortiGate Information field in the Edit CNF form, find the FortiGate connection details.

  2. In FortiManager, go to Device & Groups > Add Device.

  3. Click Discover Device.

  4. Enter the IP Address of the FortiGate CNF instance.

  5. Enable Use Legacy Device Login and enter the User Name and Password, then click Next.

  6. Update or enter any required details and click Next.

  7. Click Finish. The FortiGate CNF instance is added to FortiManager. There may be a short delay before the device is available.

  8. Import the FG-traffic policy package from the FortiManager instance into FortiManager. Use this policy package to install policies to the FortiGate CNF instance.

Note

When adding a FortiGate CNF instance, you will only see details of the primary member from the cluster.
