Configuring central management
-
To enable central management, connect to Edge, go to Security Fabric > Settings, and enable Central Management.
-
Set Type to FortiManager, Mode to Normal, and set IP/Domain Name to the IP address of port 4 on the FortiManager.
-
After you select Apply, a message appears stating that the FortiManager received the message and Edge is waiting for management confirmation.
-
Edge, as the root FortiGate, pushes FortiManager settings to the other FortiGate devices in the Security Fabric. To verify this, connect to Accounting and go to Security Fabric > Settings.
-
To confirm the management connection, connect to the FortiManager and go to Device Manager > Unregistered Devices. Select the FortiGate devices and select + Add.
-
Add the FortiGate devices to the FortiManager.
-
Connect to Edge. A warning message appears stating that the FortiGate is now managed by a FortiManager. Select Login Read-Only.
-
Go to Security Fabric > Settings. Under Central Management, the Status is now Registered on FortiManager.
