Features available in FortiProxy ADOM

Device Manager

Use the Device Manager pane to add FortiProxy devices, manage device firmware, and install device and policy package configuration changes to managed devices. You can also monitor managed FortiProxy devices from the Device Manger pane.

Upgrading a FortiProxy cluster

When FortiManager initiates a firmware upgrade on a managed FortiProxy HA cluster, it performs an uninterrupted upgrade which follows this process:

  1. FortiManager sends the firmware image to the primary FortiProxy.

  2. The primary FortiProxy forwards the image to the secondary device.

  3. The secondary FortiProxy performs the upgrade first and then assumes the role of primary.

  4. The original primary device assumes the role of secondary and completes its upgrade.

  5. Once the upgrade is complete, the original primary FortiProxy again assumes the role of primary.

For more information, see Device Manager.
