Select Appliance to configure connection to an on-premise FortiSandbox appliance or Cloud to configure connection to FortiSandbox Cloud. FortiSandbox Cloud offers a more affordable alternative to a FortiSandbox appliance, since it is a cloud service that does not need to be hosted on-site. However, FortiSandbox Cloud does not offer the full range of features that a FortiSandbox appliance offers. See Appendix F - FortiCloud Sandbox. |
Enter the FortiSandbox's IP address or hostname. Click Test Connection to ensure that EMS can communicate with FortiSandbox. This option is only available for a FortiSandbox appliance. |
