De-authorize FortiExtender devices

FortiExtenders discovered by the FortiGate configured as a controller used to show up on the FortiGate GUI as pending authorization, causing confusion in certain situations. This enhancement enables you to disable a discovered FortiExtender device on a FortiGate configured as a FortiExtender controller from the GUI or the CLI.

GUI

1. Locate the FortiExtender in "Unauthorized" status.

   

2. Select the FortiExtender and click "Edit". Note: The original status is "Deauthorized"

   

3. Set the status to "Reject", and click OK.

   

The following image shows the status of the FortiExtender after it is being rejected.

CLI

When the FortiExtender is in "discovered' state.

config extension-controller extender
    edit "FX0135921000036"
        set id "FX511F5921000036"
        set authorized discovered

You can change it to "disable" state. It will be shown as "Reject" in the GUI.

config extension-controller extender
    edit "FX0135921000036"
        set id "FX511F5921000036"
        set authorized disable
