FortiGate devices

To verify the FortiGate is connected to FortiSandbox:

On your FortiSandbox device, go to Scan Input > Devices. Your FortiGate device and VDOMs will be listed on this page.

The communication protocol does not include a way for the FortiGate to notify FortiSandbox whether VDOMs are enabled. When VDOMs are disabled on the FortiGate, the files received from the FortiGate will be marked with vdom=root.

Since the FortiGate does not explicitly send a list of possible VDOMs to FortiSandbox, the FortiSandbox only learns about a VDOM once it receives a file associated with it. Each of the devices VDOMs listed on this page will only displayed after the first file has been received from that specific VDOM.

If VDOMs are enabled on your FortiGate, you can select the checkbox to have new VDOMs inherit authorization based on the device level setting. If the FortiGate authorization is disabled, all VDOMs under it will not be authorized even if authorization is enabled for a VDOM.
